GSMA's Open Gateway Initiative Is a Must-Watch for the Satellite Industry

A few weeks ago, I teased that DIFI would be running a workshop at the upcoming MILCOM 2023 military communications conference in October. Within just a few days we had already received several very interesting presentation ideas… and we’d love to see more.

The focus of the workshop will be on the Digital Transformation of SATCOM. With all the positive feedback from attendees of last year’s event, the 2023 workshop is being expanded to a full-day program, providing a broader platform for engagement and knowledge exchange. The morning will begin with paper sessions, allowing participants to delve deeper into the latest developments in digital IF research, the DIFI standard and related advancements.

There will be six paper sessions and 20 poster slots. Researchers and developers are invited to submit ideas for presentations, posters, and demonstrations. You do not have to be a DIFI Consortium member to submit an idea. Presentations are requested to discuss use cases, lessons learned, or detailed experiments executed using DIFI. Posters and demonstrations should offer technologies, applications, predictions and viewpoints in the rapidly changing landscape of satellite technology. Demonstrations showing DIFI interoperability are of the highest interest.

The submission deadline for abstracts is September 4, 2023. Selection notifications will be made September 18, and camera-ready poster PDFs are due on October 23, 2023.
