Out-of-control satellite creating challenges to prevent service interference in remote First Nations

A Telesat Canada engineer arrived in Sioux Lookout on Sunday, Sept 6 to work with Keewaytinook Okimakanak's Kuhkenah Network team to prepare the hub site to avoid interference from the out-of-control Galaxy 15 satellite. Telesat is sending their engineers to their larger clients to ensure that there is no chance for interference on the transponders that they are providing to the Northern Indigenous Satellite Community Network (NISCN - http://smart.knet.ca/satellite).
