PISCATAWAY, N.J., Oct. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Digital Intermediate Frequency Interoperability Consortium introduced in the present day the addition of latest member organizations within the EMEA area to its rising household of organizations devoted to the digital transformation of satellite tv for pc companies. Corporations just lately becoming a member of DIFI embody:
NATO Communications and Info Company is a expertise and cyber professional group, with 3,000-strong crew positioned in 29 websites, delivering capabilities vital to fulfilling NATO’s core mission of session, collective protection and disaster administration.
The Arabsthe Arab Satellite tv for pc Communications Group, headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, delivers satcom companies to the Arab States from eight satellites.
Groundspace gives software-based orchestration, logging and operational planning for the bottom phase of house operations from Montpellier, France.
RF-Design provides change matrix programs, RF-over-fiber options, line amplifiers, RF monitoring programs and customized options from its headquarters in Lorch, Germany.
Teledyne Paradise Datacombased mostly in Witham, UK, provides satellite tv for pc modems, strong state energy amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, block up converters and related subsystems.
With the acquire of those members, the DIFI membership now consists of over 60 firms and companies together with the US Navy, US Military C5ISR Heart, Amazon Net Companies, US Area Pressure, Microsoft, Airbus Protection and Area, SES Engineering, Hughes Community Programs, Inmarsat, Protection Info Programs Company, HawkEye 360, Kymeta, Kratos Protection & Area, Cobham and Comtech.
“The digital transformation of the satellite tv for pc business is being pushed – not by distributors – however by their clients,” stated DIFI Board Chairman Stuart Daughtridge. “That’s mirrored within the sector and geographic range of DIFI’s membership. Our purpose is easy: to create an open and clear customary, developed by customers, operators and distributors working collectively, that permits true interoperability amongst all distributors’ communications expertise.

About DIFI
The mission of the Digital Intermediate Frequency Interoperability (DIFI) Consortium is to allow the digital transformation of house, satellite tv for pc, and associated industries by offering a easy, open, interoperable Digital IF/RF customary that replaces the pure interoperability of analog IF alerts and helps forestall vendor lock-in. At this time, floor phase depends on coaxial cable to move RF at intermediate frequencies, akin to L-Band, between antennas and modems and thru a number of analog gadgets. Analog IF programs, with their rigid chain of {hardware}, are troublesome to scale and complicated to function. They’re struggling to deal with in the present day’s capability calls for and can’t scale as much as meet the wants of tomorrow.
The business wants an open and clear customary, developed and adopted not by distributors alone however by customers, operators and distributors working collectively. A regular that meets the broadest vary of wants with out turning into too advanced and dear to implement. A regular that reduces the full value of possession and boosts community and terminal agility, efficiency and resilience, enabling floor phase to seamlessly adapt to quickly altering space-layer payloads, orbits and constellations.
