SATCOM 2010: Current Trends In System Design And Application
With the Satellite 2010 event set to begin in just a few days, RF Globalnet thought the time was right to take stock of the satellite communications (SATCOM) industry — to explore some of the emerging design and application trends impacting this constantly evolving market. For assistance in this endeavor, we turned to Cobham's David Thombs. In this Q&A, Thombs talks with RF Globalnet about the current state of the SATCOM sector, identifies what he thinks are the most promising new application areas for SATCOM technology, and discusses the hottest trends in SATCOM system design.

Is There A Shortage Of Good RF Applications Engineers?
