Ground in Space is the podcast from the Satcoms Innovation Group. It brings together experts from across the membership of SIG to discuss some of the hot topics impacting the satellite communications industry
In this episode, we got back to our roots and talked about Radio Frequency Interference. We discussed how an increasingly complex environment is having an impact on the probability of RFI, how operators are currently tackling it, what vendors are doing and what more is needed to keep spectrum clean. Guests: •Yasir Hassan, Arabsat •Alvaro Sanchez, Integrasys •Erik Otto Evenstad, Space Norway •Kiril Kirilov, Space Norway

STEM
In our latest podcast, we discussed the talent gap in the satcoms industry and how to resolve. While it is clear there is a gap, there is not a shortage of young people with the right skills and mindset to fill that, so how do we ensure they are aware of the opportunities and that we make the right spaces for them to grow within the industry? Guests: Gavin Cox, Global InvacomDave Davies, ST Engineering iDirectJack Brown, PhD Researcher, University of BirminghamChris Dix, Babcock

Flat Panel Antennas
In our latest podcast, we discuss the challenges surrounding flat panel antennas and the lack of certification. Flat Panel Antennas are no doubt critical for next generation networks but bring with them a huge amount of complexity and variables that not only make it challenging to ensure they operate error-free, but also make testing complicated. At the same time, the antennas themselves are evolving with new innovation happening at a dramatic rate, yet approvals are not currently a fair proc...

Transition to Cloud
In the latest SIG podcast, we discussed where the industry is with the transition to the cloud and the important things that need to happen to enable it, such as AI, customer education to understand the new technology, and a lower price point on data transfer and compute power. We also discussed how digitisation and cloud processing is bringing satcoms out of the dusty corner and into a new era of connectivity. Guests: Simon Swift, ETL SystemsAlvaro Sanchez, IntegrasysJorg Rockstroh, W...
