[SatNews] Satellite interference is a growing problem facing all satellite operators and users — virtually every geostationary satellite experiences some form of interference incident in its lifetime.
The Satellite Users Interference Reduction Group (SUIRG) records indicate thousands of reported interference incidents a year, with hundreds or possibly thousands more going unreported. When this occurs, it is not just the operator or customer who is damaged by the event; RFI negatively impacts all sectors of the satellite sector both in terms of lost revenue and negative perceptions of the satellite communications business. The non-profit SUIRG is the only organization dedicated to the issue of satellite radio interference. SUIRG is holding its 7th annual Satellite Interference Conference, September 28-30, at the Hyatt at Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco, California. The event is co-hosted by SAT Corporation.
The Satellite Interference Conference annually attracts leading satellite industry executives from more than 18 different countries for three days of candid and informative problem solving discussions and information sharing on satellite interference. These industry leaders are stakeholders in reducing interference. They recognize the value of a working meeting where attendees openly discuss such topics as interference incident case study review and resolutions, implications of interference, and on-going mitigation programs. Among many interesting topics, you will learn about the multiple initiatives we have in place to get carrier identification accepted as a standard for voice, video and data equipment, and hear about the SUIRG web-based tool for identifying and resolving interference incidents. In addition to the active participation in panel discussions, you will find excellent networking opportunities at the Conference, particularly the SAT Corp.-sponsored San Francisco Bay dinner cruise.
There are a limited number of 2010 Interference Conference Sponsorships available for companies that support SUIRG's mission and want an active role in reducing satellite interference or are looking for a venue where you can showcase your interference mitigation product to the satellite operator/user community.
