YOKOHAMA, Japan -- Groundwork has been underway at SkyPerfect JSAT's satellite control center in Yokohama, south of Tokyo, to make more room for satellite ground stations, as part of a plan by Asia's largest satellite operator to nearly triple capital investment in the current fiscal year.
The company is racing to make investments to secure pole position in the emerging commercial satellite market, as it believes commercial demand will eventually overtake that for national security, the current growth driver.
