The Development of AI and its Impact on the Satcom Industry

Richard Jacklin is behind the camera again; this time talking to the World Teleport Association (WTA). Richard discusses the topical subject of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how he thinks it will develop, and the impact it will have on the Satcom industry in the future.

Randall Barney, from the WTA, asks the key questions:

• What can AI add to satellite-terrestrial network operations, from installation and activation to monitoring and troubleshooting?
• How does this technology change network operations in terms of staffing, personnel skills and management visibility into operations?
• What do teleports and other service providers need to be careful about in marking purchase decisions? Where are there pitfalls and unintended consequences?
