From Space & Satellite Futures: Why I Serve, Episode 1: with Daniel Gizinski · · SSPIVideo
“The pace of innovation isn't slowing down and if anything, it's accelerating. And so I've got some big dreams for the next five years, I think. And you know, continue to hope that others are dreaming at least as big, if not bigger, and really excited to kind of see what happens and you know, what gets developed over the next few years as well.”
On , Daniel Gizinski, President of Satellite & Space Communications Segment at COMTECH TELECOMMUN, spoke about innovation pace during Space & Satellite Futures: Why I Serve, Episode 1: with Daniel Gizinski on SSPIVideo.
Daniel Gizinski, president of the satellite and space segment at Comtech, appeared on the SSPI podcast "Why I Serve" in April 2026 and at SATShow Week in March 2026. On the podcast, Gizinski discussed his career path from engineering to executive leadership and his recent appointment to the SSPI board of directors. He described Comtech as a company with a history of over 60 years that supports emergency services, including next-generation 911 call routing. Gizinski also noted a trend toward sovereign satellite capabilities, stating that countries are seeking flexible, lower-cost solutions rather than dedicating billions to satellite programs. He emphasized the importance of effectively communicating the industry's technical and regulatory complexity to gain recognition and support. At SATShow Week, Gizinski highlighted Comtech's delivery of its first DCG7000 series modems and demonstrations of multi-orbit support and software-defined network architecture. He identified key industry trends as the shift toward digitized architectures, multi-orbit capabilities, and the integration of 5G and non-terrestrial networks. Gizinski said Comtech has built its next-generation product family to support 5G waveforms and sees the company playing a role in backend infrastructure as the industry evolves.
