Providing first-rate education for all has been a challenge, particularly in underserved communities. The pandemic has further exacerbated this crisis. Satellite-enabled delivery enhances educational standards without the need for expensive gadgets or broadband connectivity. By riding on the existing satellite channels for TV distribution available globally, it is possible to push curated content to all desired locations simultaneously. Teachers and students can then uniformly access the received information on their own devices from a satellite-linked hotspot. This ensures focused learning and consistently high-quality content, giving every child the opportunity for a bright future. Dr. Rangarajan is a satellite industry veteran with 40+ years of experience in successive leadership roles in the public and private sectors. He held important executive positions in ISRO and has contributed significantly in system studies and design, mission planning, satellite control and anomaly resolution.
As a Senior Vice President in WorldSpace Dr. Rangarajan successfully adapted the satellite radio infrastructure to design diverse solutions for data multicasting, distance education and early warning delivery post 2004 tsunami. As the CTO of Yazmi USA LLC, he created the first-ever tablet with an integrated satellite reception for uniform and ubiquitous education delivery.
His education includes a Ph.D. from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai and Masters from IIT, Madras. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
