Defense If additional software applications are required, such as firewalls or interference mitigation, one or more separate computers will be needed.
Key Points:
- If additional software applications are required, such as firewalls or interference mitigation, one or more separate computers will be needed.
- When that mission or service is completed, those same virtual modems can be re-purposed on-the-fly, remotely to support new missions.
- Euroconsult, a leading global research firm focused on the satellite industry, predicts that satellite demand will quadruple over the next decade.

Defense Part of Kratos’ OpenSpace® Platform, vStar products are virtual replacements for the traditional hardware-based hubs used in satcom today.
Key Points:
- Part of Kratos’ OpenSpace® Platform, vStar products are virtual replacements for the traditional hardware-based hubs used in satcom today.
- As software, vStar offers dramatic advantages over traditional hubs, including simultaneous support for point-to-point and star topologies, multi-mission operations, dynamic configuration and touchless deployment within cloud and hybrid environments.
- These hubs are racks of purpose-built hardware devices, such as satcom modulators and demodulators, which must all be physically installed at one or more teleports or ground stations.
- vStar employs a widely used, more modern framework to perform the functions of a traditional hub—and more—at an enterprise-grade scale without the hub’s limitations.
