So we don’t need megabit fill in capacity.
Isotropic has an expansive global network.
We lease capacity of one space craft, on
around 40 transponders and 11 satellites.
SMW: As you are aware, satellite
technology is changing very rapidly. Ten
years ago, HTS satellites revolutionized
satellite capabilities. Now, GEO and MEO
satellites with beam forming and on board
processing capabilities are at the center
of the next technology evolution. Several
LEO constellations are also in the planning
process, and OneWeb and Starlink have
already launched satellites. How will
these new technologies affect the satellite
integrator business?
The emergence of these new constellations
does nothing but create new opportunities
for the integrator. Have you ever heard
satellites mentioned in the press as
frequently as you do now?
In the last two years, satellite investment
has become sexy. A lot of investors like Apax
Partners are throwing money at satellite.
One of the advancements on the horizon
that will result in new opportunities for
the integrator is the total integration of
networks, regardless of the hub and modem
infrastructure platform.
This has to happen, there has to be a
interoperability. All technology and
platforms need to work in harmony. The
availability of multiple constellations
will enable SD-WAN in space, resulting in
lower bandwidth costs, higher efficiency,
and huge benefits to the end-user. This is
the future.

Hank Zbierski founded Isotropic Networks, Inc. (Isotropic) in 1992,
and has been a driving force behind the company ever since.
Today, with Hank at the helm as the company’s Chief Growth
Catalyst, Isotropic has grown to become a leading global provider
of converged connectivity services and network management
solutions. Hank has greatly expanded the company from a
nascent player in broadcast, its entry-point market, to now serve
a multitude of industries including oil and gas, maritime, telco,
disaster recovery, and enterprise solutions.
To enable Hank’s growth plans, Isotropic built a world-class
teleport, giving the company the wider coverage it needed
to serve an expanding client base. Today, Isotropic owns and
operates teleports on three continents to provide global
coverage. Beyond expanding Isotropic’s reach, Hank has
always had a fixation on developing and improving technical
capabilities in his quest to reach service perfection. In this area,
Hank has made numerous accomplishments, including the
recent introduction of quadruple redundancy to Isotropic’s
communications offering, as well as achieving and maintaining
the highest uptime in the industry, incorporating SD-WAN
technology into the Isotropic network, and developing an
Artificial Intelligence-based (AI) Network Management Solution
(NMS), Datadragon, which intelligently monitors, analyzes and
manages how bandwidth flow is being used in real time across
the WAN at the application level.
Because Hank has always pushed the limits of technology and
innovation, Isotropic became an enabler of highly complex
projects. Isotropic is a specialist in intensely challenging
communications for high-risk, high-pressure operations. The level
of reliability that is required to operate in this highly critical arena
fits in concert with tailored solutions and an unprecedented level
of flexibility. Hank has ensured that beyond technical prowess and
reliability, Isotropic is different because of a no-contract approach,
where clients are able to upgrade and downgrade services at any
time, and can suspend and reactivate service quickly and easily
without hidden costs.
It is Hank’s vision to share with the world “unrivaled certainty”,
meaning that while he will still solve the seemingly unsolvable
communications problems for his clients, he wishes to connect
the planet, giving all industries, organizations, markets,
communities and individuals communications that work the
first time, every time, all the time – no matter what.
Outside of work, Hank enjoys spending his time with his family
and friends, traveling to embrace new cultures and ways of life,
and putting his pilots license to good use.
