DIFI Webinar: How to Get the Full Value of Your ESA

Join the DIFI ESA Specifications Working Group for an in-depth webinar exploring how standardization – particularly through open, interoperable digital interfaces – is key to maximizing ESA potential. This session will dive into how DIFI-based specifications enable integration with modems, RF chains, and ground segment orchestration systems, ultimately lowering costs, enhancing scalability, and improving time-to-market. Speakers include:

• Jeremy Turpin, Chief Scientist and Co-Founder, ALL.SPACE (Moderator)
• Ryan Stevenson, Senior Vice President and Chief Scientist, Kymeta Corporation
• Bill Milroy, Chairman and CTO, ThinKom Solutions, Inc.
• Gavin Cox, Research and Development Engineering Manager, Global Invacom Group

About DIFI

The Digital Intermediate Frequency (IF) Interoperability Consortium, or DIFI, has created a standard that enforces interoperability on digital IF/RF technology. Digital IF was developed to overcome the limitations of analog systems but, today, vendor lock-in prevents it from delivering seamless interoperability and severely limits its adoption. A truly interoperable digital IF, on the other hand, will enable transformation to a virtualized ground segment, reducing the total cost of ownership and significantly boosting network and terminal agility and scalability. Compliance with the DIFI standard will ensure that satellite ground segments can seamlessly adapt to rapidly changing space-layer payloads, orbits, and constellations. Ultimately, DIFI promises to elevate the resilience, performance, and capabilities of satellite networks and enable a digital transformation that integrates satellites seamlessly into the larger telecom, IT and GIS markets.
