Wildfire season is upon us, and due to global warming, we can anticipate one of the worst on record. Canada, which is training extra firefighters, warns of an ‘explosive’ season. Greece is doubling its firefighting crew and adopting new tactics. Portugal has banned bonfires, barbecues, and the use of machinery that can trigger sparks, such as chainsaws and trimmers. And it isn’t just wildfires that are cause for concern. The risk of massive floods in cities like New York, Shanghai and Kolkata increases each year. Summers get hotter, winters get colder.

The Asia-Pacific region has long been one of the most dynamic and forward-looking regions for satcom. From the first satellite launched for an Asian country (Palapa-1 in the 1970s) to one of the first commercial high-throughput satellites in IPSTAR (2004), APAC has, in many ways, been more of a leader than a follower as it relates to satcom trends.
