Organisations team up for IBC interference prevention forum

Programme intended to educate industry and users on mitigation techniques, technologies

IBC will host the Satellite Interference Mitigation Forum, a series of meetings sponsored by Eutelsat. This forum follows the partnership of Global VSAT Forum (GVF), the Satellite Interference Reduction Group (IRG), the World Broadcasting Unions-International Satellite Operators Group (WBU-ISOG) and the Radio Frequency Interference-End Users Initiative (RFI-EUI), who are joining to highlight recent developments and address the next steps in interference prevention.

The forum will cover a range of topics, including training, earth station testing, carrier identification and geolocation techniques. The groups will also collaborate on a series of breakout briefing meetings, sponsored by SES. The meetings are intended to raise awareness and educate the industry and users about interference prevention techniques, technologies and initiatives, providing them with the tools and information to ensure they can mitigate interference and its effects on their business.

The Satellite Interference Mitigation Forum will be hosted throughout IBC, which is taking place in Amsterdam from September 12 to 17.
