Intelsat offers the training as one of several elements of its Intelsat Interference Mitigation Initiative (I3) – an effort aimed at reducing radio frequency interference (RFI). Intelsat CTO Thierry Guillemin said the operator continues to support the GVF Product Quality Assurance Framework, which sets guidelines to improve manufacturers’ equipment used by its customers. 
   “Intelsat’s implementation of a comprehensive satellite communications training program has produced a higher standard of service quality for our customers,” Guillemin said in a statement. “Our efforts are designed to prevent signal interference through the global certification of technicians, which we believe will result in improved installation quality and enhanced network performance for customers.”
