Our customers use our state of technology reviews to help understand a particular aspect of space technology and how it may develop
| One of our clients, a major user of VSATs, was planning its future uses of the technology. It felt that its own, in-house specialists were too focussed on the vendors and solutions they were familiar with and wanted an unbiased, outside view. Microcom provided a detailed overview of all major vendors and their products as well as an in depth review of the curent state of the art of VSAT technology and how it may be expected to evolve over the next few years. |
