Rohde & Schwarz 2022 Virtual Conference is about to kick off with 4 major theme highlights

Rohde & Schwarz Satellite Industry Day 2022 virtual conference will be launched with four major themes

This online conference will collaborate with industry experts to focus on cutting-edge topics such as satellite and space technology, and hold four virtual summits.

The upcoming Rohde & Schwarz "Satellite Industry Day" virtual conference will offer a series of online activities and invite global participants to have in-depth discussions on the latest developments and applications of satellite and space technology. The "Satellite Industry Day" series of events will officially start on February 22, 2022. Participants can participate in four forums online and have the opportunity to talk with industry experts and gain insights into new opportunities in the future satellite industry. The event themes are as follows:

First event: Challenges of new space satellite constellations

Second event: Future initiatives for non-terrestrial networks and satellite 5G/IOT (Internet of Things)

Event 3: Next Generation Satellite Design and Quantum Cryptography

Fourth event: R&D of high-throughput and ultra-high-throughput satellite designs

Tobias Willuhn, Project Manager for Aerospace and Defense Security at Rohde & Schwarz, said: “We attach great importance to and carefully design each topic, and look forward to and welcome experts and scholars from research institutions and industry to discuss new opportunities in satellite communication technology in the context of the public Internet. The conference is wonderful, and you will see several heavyweight industry guests participating in the first event, such as Hans-Martin Steiner from ATOS, Ridvan Koc from Alcan Systems and Avi Freedman from Satixfy.”

The first event, "Challenges of New Space Satellite Constellations," will focus on the challenges of planning reliable satellite links around the world and optimizing transceiver usage, even for large satellite networks. Other topics include production and testing of small satellites, adaptive beamforming and beamforming of phased array antennas, liquid crystal antenna design, and optimization of beam and clustered beam-hopping systems.

Dr. Yvonne Weitsch, Business Development Manager for Aerospace and Defense Security at Rohde & Schwarz, said: “As a new era of space and satellite business development, ‘New Space’ is not only based on disruptive technologies such as onboard processing, digital beamforming antennas and large satellite constellation networks, but also proposes solutions to shorten the life cycle of on-orbit satellites through fast-paced technological advances, achieve commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) satellite production, and new application areas with innovative business models.”

“We are closely following the rapidly evolving satellite business market and look forward to the opportunity to discuss appropriate approaches to the most challenging technological developments with experts and partners from the industry. The Rohde & Schwarz Satellite Industry Days provide an excellent platform to promote exchange, discussion and mutual learning in this regard,” added Dr. Thomas Nicolay, Vice President of Aerospace and Defense Security Product Testing at Rohde & Schwarz.
