Media & Broadcasting
Broadcasting has always been at the heart of the satcom industry. From the first artifical satellite, Sputnik (1954), which broadcast a series of beeps it wasnt long until the Telstar 1 (1962) relayed the first TV pictures from the USA to Europe.
Technology has moved on a lot since then and now its normal to see a satellite truck beaming the lastest news as a breaking story happens anywhere on earth.
Satcom also broadasts many tens of thousands of TV and radio channels directly to our homes, with an ever increasing number in high definition. The sector is certainly lucrative and very fast moving.
