For those unfamiliar with SOFIC, it’s one of the largest and more widely attended conferences for decision makers and senior leaders in the Special Operations community. It gives these military leaders an opportunity to collaborate, share best practices, and interact and engage with industry leaders to learn about new technologies that can increase the capability and effectiveness of America’s special forces.

During the conference, members of SOFIC TV approached Randy and Chris to discuss how SES’s constellations of 56 GEO satellites and 16 MEO satellites can be utilized within the Special Forces community, and to explain some of the different use cases for commercial SATCOM in the military.

During their conversation, they discussed the differences between MEO and GEO satellites, the disparate ways satellite is enabling the warfighter and even delved into a new public/private partnership between SES and the Government of Luxemburg.

Here is a look at what Chris and Randy had to say:
