Satellite and Connectivity Professionals can vote to help QuadSAT win the inaugural Satellite Technology of the Year award.
Odense, Denmark, 23rd April 2019 – QuadSAT, the drone-enabled antenna testing company has been nominated for Via Satellite’s 2018 Satellite Technology of the Year Award. The nominees are chosen based on innovation, benefit to the industry, and overall disruption to the satellite landscape.
QuadSAT’s platform uses drone technology to test, calibrate and measure the performance of satellite and VSAT antennas autonomously by mimicking an orbiting satellite. This method enables highly accurate testing while drastically reducing downtime.
The winner of the 2018 Satellite Technology of the Year will be determined by a combination of the Via Satellite editorial team, including Editorial Director, Mark Holmes, and votes that come directly from industry. The public can vote for QuadSAT online, or onsite at the SATELLITE 2019 event, which takes place May 6-9 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. There will be stations for attendees to vote at the Via Satellite booth (#543 on the show floor).
Joakim Espeland, CEO, QuadSAT, commented: “We are really excited to have been nominated for this award. The support we have received from the industry has been instrumental in helping us develop a platform with the potential to revolutionize antenna testing for the satellite communications industry.”
From the host of the prestigious “Satellite Executive of the Year Award”, Via Satellite has a longstanding history of recognizing the people leading the charge for the satellite industry.
“Via Satellite is dedicated to recognizing the technology breakthrough that has changed the way the satellite and connectivity industry worked in 2018 and for years to come,” said Mark Holmes. “We’re proud to offer this award and recognize the technology as part of our ongoing commitment to the global satellite industry.”
