Following requests from the industry DVB has looked into its satellite specifications and started a wide range of activities:
- A second generation RCS specification has been developed. in addition to improved spectral efficiency and a wide range of new operational features the specification also covers meshed and mobile use cases.
- With the upcoming Carrier ID specification DVB will solve the problem of identifying the source of unintentional interference on satellite links
- The wide band transponder addendum to the DVB-S2 specification facilitates efficient receiver implementations of the reception of signals from transponders with bandwidths above 70 MHz
- Most relevant DVB has started to work on an upgrade of the DVB-S2 specification allowing more flexibility and improved spectral efficiency.
