Digital IF Interoperability (DIFI) Consortium Announces GNU Radio Talk and Release of Open-Source Software
September 13 2022 - 9:00AM
The DIFI Consortium is pleased to announce a GNU Radio Conference
2022 (GRCon22) talk titled “DIFI: The Universal Language for
Streaming Digitized RF” focusing on DIFI’s key role in enabling
interoperability between SDRs and real-time signal processing
hardware and software through the IEEE-ISTO Std 4900-2021: Digital
IF Interoperability standard. GNU Radio Conference (GRCon)
established itself as one of the premier annual industry events for
Software Radio. This week-long conference includes high-quality
technical content and valuable networking opportunities.” To
register and attend go to: https://tickets.gnuradio.org/grcon22/
In addition, the DIFI Consortium’s Certification Working Group
has released Open-Source Software tooling and a tutorial on the
standard. The software collection allows developers and integrators
to interact with the DIFI standard by using Python, Wireshark and a
GNU Radio Out of Tree (OOT) Module (gr-difi). Developers interested
in Digital IF and Open-Source Software are encouraged to learn more
and contribute to the development effort. The consortium’s GitHub
repository can be found at: https://github.com/DIFI-Consortium/
“We want to thank the members of the Certification Working Group
for their hard work over the last 6 months to release open-source
software and documentation that allow developers and integrators to
interact with DIFI enabled devices. This is an important milestone
for the organization as we push towards a certification compliance
process and further proliferate adoption of DIFI for
interoperability and digital transformation in space, satellite,
and related industries,” said Christian Rodriguez, Chair of DIFI’s
Certification Working Group and Senior Technical Program Manager at
Microsoft’s Azure Space & Spectrum.
DIFI’s current membership is comprised of over 50 companies and
government organizations from across space industry
sectors. The Consortium invites all interested
companies and organizations to join and contribute to efforts that
encourage interoperability and digital transformation in the space
industry. Membership and other information is available at the
Consortium’s website: https://www.dificonsortium.org.
About GNU Radio
GNU Radio is a free & open-source software development
toolkit that provides signal processing blocks to implement
software radios. It can be used with readily-available low-cost
external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without
hardware in a simulation-like environment. It is widely used in
research, industry, academia, government, and hobbyist environments
to support both wireless communications research and real-world
radio systems. https://www.gnuradio.org/
About DIFI IF Interoperability Consortium
The Digital IF Interoperability Consortium (DIFI) is an
independent, international group of companies, organizations, and
government agencies that have an interest in the interoperability
of networks and ground systems supporting space-based operations.
Launched in coordination with the IEEE-ISTO, DIFI’s mission is to
enable the digital transformation of space, satellite, and related
industries through a simple, interoperable Digital IF/RF standard
that accelerates industry transformation from L-Band IF to Digital
IF, while discouraging vendor lock-in. The founding members of DIFI
include Hawkeye 360, Intelsat Corp. (OTCMKTS: INTEQ), Kongsberg
Satellite Services AS (KSAT), Kratos Defense & Security
Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS), Microsoft, and the U.S. Navy. To
