Topics covered during the SATELLITE 2009 Conference will address issues including financing, satellite newsgathering, military sitcom applications, next-gen satellite technology, mobile satellite services, IP technology, and more.

"More than 9,000 satellite-enabled communications leaders will be coming together during the SATELLITE 2009 Conference and Exhibition to learn what the new requirements are for our end users and the future of satellite-enabled communications," said Joe Rosone, Access Intelligence Satellite Group vice president and group publisher.

"We look forward to empowering this community via a robust offering of conference sessions, including a two-day conference dedicated to the mobile satellite marketplace via the co-located MSUA-6 Conference."
