How should the Satcom industry deal with AI, IoT & Space Debris? | SpaceTech Asia
At Satellite Technology Asia held in Singapore from 9-10 October, the Satellite Interference Reduction Group (IRG) made an announcement – IRG has now rebranded (and reoriented) itself as the Satcoms Innovation Group (SIG). This is meant to expand the scope of the 20 year-old IRG’s activities, but is also indicative that changes are taking place within the satellite communications (satcom) industry – both due to innovations within the industry, and external influences and pressures.
The two-day event addressed immediate interference-related problems the group traditionally deals with, but also saw in-depth discussions on new issues within the satellite industry amongst participants. Some of these included the importance of satellites in Smart Cities and Internet of Things (IoT), space debris, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
