"Providing connectivity around the world for video distribution and bidirectional IP platforms."

The secret ingredient to make this happen is real life experience.

PathFinder founders together contribute over 100 years of real life experience covering all areas of the video broadcasting industry including satellite, terrestrial, cable television, off-air television & radio broadcast, Internet, fiber, broadband, complex traffic & networking, satellite news gathering, and Telco IPTV. Experience in these areas include R&D engineering of hardware & software platforms, high volume high tech manufacturing, integration & implementation, operations, and proprietary and standards based digital video compression systems.

With certain founders beginning their careers in the late 70's when analog communications for voice & video marked the beginning of commercial satellite broadcasting; which in turn introduced cable television to nearly every household in America; the individuals behind PathFinder have been involved in satellite & terrestrial communications and program / content distribution since the inception of delivering video to the masses.

Beginning with the design and manufacture of the first analog satellite earth station systems; from both fixed and mobile broadcast uplinks to satellite receive downlinks to cable television distribution to the first analog set top boxes as placed in the home; PathFinder founders have been directly involved in end-to-end communications for many years.

As the industry evolved, the founders stayed involved in the R&D and the integration and implementation of new technologies that have included scrambling and conditional access systems; the introduction of Ku-Band in satellite communications; the R&D and introduction of digital video and the analog to digital conversion.  The team continues to be innovators of the technologies and systems in deployment today.

To round out the experiences, key PathFinder founders have been directly involved in the convergence of traditional broadcast technologies with the Internet and migration to IP technologies. The most recent focus of the founders has been the convergence of content distribution via satellite with broadband (IP technologies) to better serve Cable Television, Telco Television, and the creation of a web based live event broadcasting portal to enable cost effective video broadcasting from anywhere in the world that can be delivered everywhere in the world.
