This event is held on a regular basis and is a significant industry forum on the development of civil satellite communications systems and digital TV broadcasting in member countries of the Regional Commonwealth in the Field of Communications (RCC), which includes countries located in Eastern Europe, Eastern, Western and Central Asia.
Intersputnik’s Director General Ksenia Drozdova spoke at the plenary session dedicated to strategic aspects of satellite industry development. She informed the audience about the capabilities of Intersputnik as an intergovernmental organisation uniting 25 countries to improve the efficiency of implementing global and regional projects using satellite technologies. Ms. Drozdova's speech was devoted to the processes ongoing in the global satellite industry and the tools used by Intersputnik to promote the industry development and international cooperation in the context of market transformation, expansion of multi-orbit satellite constellations, implementation of artificial intelligence-based systems and deployment of software-defined infrastructure elements.
Intersputnik, as a permanent observer to the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space and a member of two sectors of the International Telecommunication Union, is highly interested in discussing at various regional forums a wide range of matters related to the use of geostationary and other orbits for space communications. At the same time, the fundamental basis of Intersputnik's activities is an open, mutually beneficial cooperation with international organisations of the industry, public and governmental institutions, the research community and business entities all over the world.
At SATCOMRUS, representatives of satellite operators, telecom companies and broadcasters, manufacturers of satellites and equipment vendors discussed how the industry would look at a new stage of its development, what was happening in space technology and ground equipment production, as well as what innovations were taking place in the field of global orbital frequency regulation and, most importantly, how this would affect long-term business planning and the sustainability of space activities.
