In the run-up to SATELLITE 2022, we talk to Jim Rosenberg, CTO and co-founder of Wavestream, about the drive to better standards in the satellite industry. Jim has some particularly interesting insights in recent events involving the joining forces of the Digital IF Interoperability Consortium (DIFI) and the Digital Interface Standards Working Group (DIS), which could bring huge benefits to the satellite industry.

Outside of standards, we also talk about the new amplifiers that Wavestream will be showcasing at SATELLITE and other events this year, as well as the opportunities for Wavestream in in-flight connectivity, and even V-band. This being a Thursday Morning Conversation, the conversation also goes away from satellite and we also cover favorites cities to travel, what song Jim really wants to learn to play on the guitar, as well as Jim’s most memorable concert.

Via Satellite‘s Thursday Morning Conversations feature casual conversations with top executives and all-stars in the satellite community. In addition to what’s happening in the business of satellite, TMCs dig into what’s happening outside the office. Favorite TV show, first music concert, preferred late night snack — nothing is off the table in Thursday Morning Conversations! Catch up on all of the previous Via Satellite TMCs right here.
