The Value of SUIRG Membership
A strong membership base provides not only the financial foundation for SUIRG; it ensures greater visibility and influence with our broad industry constituency. Membership is available in several categories suited to both large and small organizations.
SUIRG initially had a Founding Member class of companies who foresaw the benefit of having an organization focused on the problem of satellite interference and were willing to fund our initial operations. SUIRG is grateful to the Founding Members who are PanAmSat (now part of Intelsat), NewSkies Satellites (now part of SES), Glowlink (a past member), QinetiQ, and Inmarsat.
There are currently four levels of SUIRG Membership:
