SEOUL,
South Korea, June 8, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- KT SAT, South
Korea's the sole satellite service company with its
self-owned satellites, participated in SatelliteAsia 2023, a
biggest satellite technology trade show throughout Asia Pacific region held in Singapore Expo from 7th to
9th, June.
KT SAT has set up the exhibition booth to showcase its
competitive services and solutions along with this year's business
strategy, laying the foundation to become a Multi-Orbit satellite
operator. This year, the MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) satellite service
of Mangata Networks took up a big portion of the booth. MEO
capacity, which is secured by partnership with Mangata Networks, is
one of the important resources for KT SAT to proceed a Multi-Orbit
business.
As a part of its Multi-Orbit business strategy, KT SAT invested
in Mangata Networks which provides end-to-end cloud-based
solutions, powered by a global satellite and terrestrial network.
Following the investment, KT SAT also signed a MEO capacity
purchase contract with Mangata in order to meet diverse customer
needs with Multi-Orbit networks including its self-owned GEO
capacity. The contract includes the target service date of 2026 and
service region of Southern East and East
Asia such as Indonesia,
Malaysia and India etc.
Brian Holz, CEO of Mangata
Networks said "We are building a multi-orbit constellation of HEO
(highly elliptical orbit) and MEO (medium Earth orbit) satellites
and a terrestrial grid of edge data centers to provide seamless
connectivity with cloud and IoT services. We are delighted to be
partnering with KT SAT to provide MEO capacity to Southern East and
East Asia which are significant
regions in the industry expecting it to play a key part in our
growth strategy. "
KT SAT also showcased its next generation satellite solutions –
Edge Computing over Satellite and Multi-beam Terminal- aligned with
its business strategy. Edge Computing over satellite is about
processing data closer to where it's being generated enabling
processing at great speed and volume, leading to reduce satellite
backhaul bandwidth and minimize latency. No matter what kinds of
satellite network is used, it can apply to any networks including
GEO, MEO and LEO.
Multi-beam terminal, an integrated satellite terminal that
includes antenna and modem, enables simultaneous Tx/Rx operation on
GEO and other NGSO satellites through multi-beam radiation. KT SAT
is applying its own-developed Hybrid solution to the terminal so
that it will be able to provide a merged speed of multiple networks
and seamless hand over between networks.
Along with Multi-orbit service, KT SAT will further expand
its GEO business domain. Tata group company Nelco, a leading
satellite communication service provider in India, also expressed an interest in KT SAT's
GEO service expansion. Recently, KT SAT and Nelco entered into a
partnership to bring KT SAT's GEO service in India with KORASAT-7. At the Satellite Asia
2023 event, both companies discussed various ways to bring value of
connectivity in India and to
strengthen the partnership.
Kyungmin Daivd Song, CEO of KT
SAT said "We are endeavoring to raise service competitiveness and
customer satisfaction by establishing fundamentals to be a
Multi-Orbit service provider with Multi-orbit satellite portfolio
and high quality solutions"
