The way in which telecom networks are evolving, especially in preparation for the 5G environment, involves an intense adoption process of cloud-based solutions and virtualized networks. It is no different for the satellite world. What are the main challenges for satellite companies? How does virtualization add to the supply and flexibility of services?
