Better Satellite World: From Connectivity to Intelligence Episode 1: What Happens When the Network Thinks? Benny Retnamony of Quvia on AI at the Edge
About this episode
The episode discusses the transformation of satellite connectivity into intelligent systems with insights from Benny Retnamony of Quvia.
Part of the Better Satellite World podcast, From Connectivity to Intelligence is a new quarterly series underwritten by Quvia, exploring how AI and satellite connectivity are changing what's possible in the world's most demanding operating environments. In the debut episode, SSPI Executive Director Tamara Bond-Williams speaks with Quvia Founder and CEO Benny Retnamony about what happens when connectivity stops being just a pipe and starts becoming intelligent. From aircraft and cruise ships to offshore energy and other remote environments, Benny explains how vast amounts of valuable data remain trapped at the edge, why traditional policy-based network management is no longer enough, and how AI can help orchestrate data movement across complex hybrid networks. The conversation explores multi-orbit connectivity, quality of experience, cloud-edge integration, and the emerging future of "physical AI" in connected operations.
