Colloquium

The Colloquium will present some of the challenges faced, a forecast of evolving requirements, and discuss the technologies and proposed space-based solutions which will address for:

"Meeting the Communications Requirements of a Changing Arctic"

Arctic sea ice has declined more in the last 50 years than it has over the previous 1,450 years. This has led to increased human activities such as resource exploration, commercial shipping, exercising sovereignty and military operations.
Broadband communications, necessary to support these activities and to ensure safety and security, are currently limited or non-existent in parts of the Arctic due lack of infrastructure or geostationary satellite geometry. Although throughout the forty years of Canadian domestic satellite systems there has always been a strong effort to serve remote communities in the parts of Canada above sixty degrees, it is now realized that the challenges of today require a new focus on innovative solutions that go beyond the reach of current systems.
