The free webinar will offer participants an update on the current situation, how it affects broadcasters, and what practical steps broadcasters, and other users, can take to reduce satellite interference. It will also draw on recent interference cases combated by the BBC, and the measures the broadcaster has in place to reduce the effects of interference.

The webinar host, Mark Steel, Senior Director, User Terminal Development, Inmarsat, said, “The satellite industry has been working tirelessly to solve the challenge of satellite interference. With a number of initiatives and technology now in place, although the industry still has a way to go, it is vitally important that users, including broadcasters, ensure they are doing their part to remain interference-free.”

“We are hoping this webinar will give broadcasters useful, practical advice which they can put into practice to ensure they are as interference-free as possible,” said Martin Coleman, Executive Director, the Satellite Interference Reduction Group. “We have a line up excellent speakers who understand the challenges, including the advantage of first hand experience from one of the world’s largest broadcasters, the BBC.
