SIG aims to promote innovation in the satellite communications industry to improve operational efficiency, reduce the risk of service impacting events, and improve quality of service. A significant part of that remit remains innovation to minimise satellite interference, both by prevention and quicker resolution. It also now covers other areas where innovation can improve performance and enable the industry to become more competitive.

Making it uniquely positioned to provide a platform for those engineers to discuss current challenges, the company will continue the focus on bringing the industry together at an engineering level. This approach has resulted in a number of innovative solutions being brought to market that have had a massive impact on reducing satellite interference.

As well as being a unique collaborative forum, with in-person events happening across the globe on an annual basis, the company will continue to lobby other industry groups and regulators where that is beneficial to the industry. It will also support and promote innovative projects to provide better tools and processes with the aim of improving efficiency in satellite operations. Current hot topics include Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), amongst others.

Satcoms Innovation Group was officially launched during Satellite Technology Asia in Singapore.
