The ITU, GVF & Interference Prevention ITU-GVF Interference-Prevention MoU Established Facilitating Satcom Worldwide Thru: Spectrum Coordination (WRC-15) Training & Certification (“100 Islands”) Earth Station Testing & Approvals (e.g. SOTM, fixed VSAT) Industry Benchmarking (e.g. for HTS Distributors) Regulatory & Policy (e.g. Intentional Interference)
VSAT Deployments, 2000-16 VSAT Terminals in Millions 10 • Deregulation and improved products drive market acceleration • New markets such as communications on the move offer new growth opportunities • Spotbeam satellites are an attractive proposal for a part of corporate needs 9 8 Served by spotbeam satellites 7 6 5 4 Served by "regular" satellite capacity 3 2 1 0 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016
Characterizing Interference Types Note: Percentages are based on Intelsat's experience but are indicative of hundreds of interference events experienced by the world’s satellite operators.
Satellite RFI: Breaking It Down Problems: Wireless Interference Sub-Standard Equipment Improper Installations Unidentified Carriers Data Silos Intentional Interference • Solutions: • Satellite Spectrum Initiative • Type Approvals • Training & Certification • Carrier ID • Space Data Association • Engagement, Technology… Policy?
WRC-15: A Much Greater Challenge • “The Satellite Industry Will Need Courage to Address the Wireless Industry’s Challenge at WRC-15 Which, Compared with WRC-07, Will be Terrible.” • Yvon Henri, Chief, Space Services Department, Radiocommunications Bureau of the ITU • The Satellite Industry Is Providing New Data, Consensus-Based Positions, and Other Support for the ICT Community in Preparation for WRC-15 • www.satellite-spectrum-initiative.com
2. Elevating Equipment Standards Increasing Attempts by Inexperienced Manufacturers to Try Production of Transmiting VSAT Antennas Designers often unaware of how accurately installers must align the antenna to prevent ASI and cross-pol interference Providing Testing, Type Approval, Technical Expertise The GVF Mutual Recognition Arrangement
Company Accreditation • Accredited Organization for Training (AO/T) • Means that the organization maintains a well-trained staff through rigorous training relevant to their duties. • 90% of applicable* staff must have completed, or be actively enrolled in, the appropriate GVF training • 70% must hold a current GVF certification or have completed appropriate GVF courses • May use AO/T seal in marketing and advertising
