BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--John Serafini, Senior Vice President of Allied Minds and co-General Manager of BridgeSat, will be speaking on the Transitioning from “Space-to-Data” to “Space-to-Space” Commerce panel at Space Tech Conference 2016 (www.spacetechexpo.com/conference) in Pasadena, California on Wednesday, May 25. Serafini will discuss the commercialization of space-related dual-use technologies originating from U.S. federal research institutions as Allied Minds has been particularly active in the development of a number of start-up companies which are commercializing technologies relevant to low Earth orbit (LEO).
One of Serafini’s portfolio companies, BridgeSat, is developing an optical communications network that offers secure delivery of extensive data from LEO satellites at faster speeds, greater resiliency, and at a lower cost point than traditional radio frequency solutions. The system is designed to provide rapid and secure transfer of high-volume data from satellites and high altitude unmanned aerial vehicles while removing the barriers that currently exist with RF spectrum for carrying large volumes of data from space to the ground.
Serafini will be part of a panel that includes Christopher Richins, Chief Executive Officer of RBC Signals; Tom McCarthy, Vice President of Business Development for Motiv Systems; and Talbot Jaeger, Founder and Chief Technologist of NovaWurks. The panel will be moderated by Dave Barnhart, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Arkisys.
The goal of the annual Space Tech Conference is to explore the business models and technologies that will enable the space industry to deliver successful missions at lower cost.
