The main purpose of the one-day workshop is to highlight the benefits of the DVB family of standards, including the large body of players supporting it and their present and future strategies associated with DVB and DVB-RCS. Five speakers representing operators, manufacturers and standardisation bodies will offer different perspectives on DVB-RCS.
A variety of key topics emphasising the usefulness of open standards will be addressed during the workshop, from benefits to interoperability and affordability, as well as what DVB-RCS can mean for Latin America and much more.
Xavier Lobao, Chairman of the SatLabs Group and guest speaker at the conference, believes: "Latin America is an important market and a clear opportunity for the development of open standards."
