    The Multi-orbit Imperative: How Oil and Gas Operations Are Building Resilient Networks

    The energy industry is going through a fundamental transformation. Connectivity has become mission-critical operational infrastructure as oil and gas operations transition from centralized, human-managed systems to fully autonomous, remotely controlled assets. From deepwater platforms and remote drilling sites to distributed pipeline networks, the stakes have never been higher, and a connectivity failure can now mean losing control of an entire process. The question is: how can the industry architect truly resilient networks that keep operations running 24/7? In this episode of the Satellite World Briefing podcast, we are joined by Maarten Verhaegh, who leads the Energy and Resources Practice at SES, to explore how global energy operations are reshaping requirements of network connectivity. We discuss how connectivity has changed from a utility to a mission-critical infrastructure, why deterministic networks matter more than raw speed, how a multi-orbit approach can solve diverse operational needs, and why the answer to data growth isn’t building bigger pipes but bringing intelligence to the edge.

    Mining’s Digital Future: Satellite Connectivity Bridges the IT/OT Gap

    One of the world’s oldest and most essential industries, mining, is going through a major digital transformation. Satellite connectivity has become a crucial enabler of this transition as autonomous equipment, remote operations, and real-time monitoring reshape how mining sites operate in some of the world’s most remote and challenging environments. The industry is moving from fragmented, tactical technology deployments to integrated IT/OT systems and multi-orbit architectures that deliver the right connectivity for every application, and unified operational visibility. In this episode of the Satellite World Briefing, John McCann, Director of Natural Resources & Telecom Practices at SES, explores how satellite connectivity is changing the mining industry. John takes us through the critical technological shifts reshaping mining operations, the role of multi-orbit connectivity in addressing the latency and bandwidth needed for everything from autonomous drilling systems to IoT sensors, and how satellite solutions are bridging the IT/OT convergence challenge. Additionally, he shares his vision for a future where satellite connectivity operates as an equal partner alongside terrestrial networks and 5G, seamlessly integrating into the fabric of global connectivity.

    SatShow 2026: Jeffrey Hill, Chairman of SatShow, on What’s Next for the Space and Satellite Industry 

    As SATShow 2026 approaches, the satellite industry is entering a new era not only defined by rapid technological evolution but by a pivotal reckoning with long-term financial sustainability. The industry is competing, building, and proving itself like never before as multi-orbit architectures mature, direct-to-device services expand, and commercial players reshape how the market is evaluated. In this episode of the Satellite World Briefing, Jeffrey Hill, Chairman of the Satellite Show, gives listeners a sneak peek at what to expect at this year’s event. Hill walks us through the key trends that are dominating the industry, like multi-orbit versus LEO, sovereign systems, protected SATCOM on the government and military side, and the evolving use cases for commercial connectivity. He also shares how AI is subtly becoming embedded into satellite operations and why this year’s Forum represents a shift in the way the industry tells its own story.

    How Cell Towers in Space Are Transforming Connectivity

    “If you are truly going to connect the unconnected …you need to make sure every single device on Earth works seamlessly with a satellite in orbit.” – Dan Dooley, Lynk Global Chief Commercial Officer That was once considered a wild idea, but today, it's the foundation of one of the fastest-moving innovations in telecom. In this episode, we speak with Dan Dooley, Chief Commercial Officer of Lynk Global, to explore how their “cell tower in space” technology is not just technically possible but already being deployed with mobile network operators worldwide from the remote plains of South Africa to the north of Canada to the isolated islands of Palau. Lynk is pioneering direct-to-device satellite connectivity that integrates effortlessly with existing mobile infrastructure - no new phones, apps, or hardware required. We discuss how Lynk's regenerative payload design makes its satellites behave like roaming partners for MNOs, enabling easy network extension into hard-to-reach areas without additional ground infrastructure. From rural connectivity and disaster recovery to IoT and 2G sunset strategies, Dan breaks down why this is a transformational leap for mobile operators. Whether you're looking to reach new markets, improve service resilience, or unlock latent revenue from underutilized spectrum, this conversation shows why direct-to-device satellite is no longer the future—it’s the now.
