Electronics Weekly - Women Leaders in Electronics Awards
2024-04-23 | De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms, London, United Kingdom
Judges include Helen Weedon, Radical Moves MD & Founder and Satcom Innovation Group MD

The inaugural Electronics Weekly Women Leaders in Electronics Awards showcases the achievement of women in our industry, celebrating them and shining a spotlight on the role models for the next generation of electronics design engineers.

Helen Weedon, Radical Moves MD & Founder and Satcom Innovation Group MD, has been selected as judge due to her broad knowledge of and extensive experience within the satellite and broadcast technology industries.

Electronics Weekly has led the way in promoting the positive role women play in the electronics industry. While in recent years, there has been some parity in the number of STEM qualifications gained by girls leaving school and at university degree level, there are still gaps evident in the workplace, in the design lab and the boardroom.

This innovative event recognises and celebrates the notable achievements of women across the electronics industry, in education, research, design excellence as well as women entrepreneurs and innovators who are advancing technology and enterprise.

Get ready to be inspired by the passionate individuals driving positive change in the electronics industry and join us in celebrating excellence on the evening of 23 April 2024.

2023-06-28 - 2023-06-29 | QuadSAT, Odense, Denmark
Agenda

Join the latest SIG Workshop, which will take place at QuadSAT in Denmark. It will once again bring together people working at the operational level of satellite communications to discuss current and future technical challenges and ways to solve them collaboratively.
Our events are unlike any other satcoms industry events as they are highly technical, involve a high level of discussion and engagement, and often lead to collaborative problem-solving, either discussing a current case of interference or as a consequence of a challenge description.
The agenda covers a number of important topics and trends impacting the satcoms industry. Our roots are of course in satellite interference, which continues to take centre stage, however the agenda is likely to also incorporate a number of hot topics, from ground station developments to multi-orbit challenges, and virtualisation.

SIG Cloud Tech Forum
2022-06-16 16:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London)
NSR’s Cloud Computing via Satellite report forecasts a $16B cumulative revenue opportunity for cloud-based services in the satellite/space industry through the coming decade. It is clear that satellite needs to increasingly look to the cloud to improve efficiency and ensure it can remain competitive. However, with satellite operators going from Mhz sales (buy, sell, lease bandwidth for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint) to bits – ethernet – point-to-point connectivity, how can we ensure a smooth transition?
At the same time, satellite is challenged with the expectation of instant connectivity and the need to shift the way services are managed and delivered, adopting a model much more akin to mobile service provision.
In this tech forum, we will discuss the opportunity and challenges of moving to a more cloud-based environment. Following a short introduction by SIG Director, Paul Isaac, there will be an opportunity for open discussion under Chatham House Rules, giving members the chance to ask questions, suggest resolutions, or simply discuss the topic in more depth.
Registration is free to all SIG members. Please sign up below.
