Objectives
Interference caused by a VSAT terminal becomes a problem when the TDMA transmission from the misaligned VSAT terminal(s) negatively impacts services on the opposite polarization (Xpol) or services in a neighboring orbital position (ASI). Combating VSAT interference has until now been complicated and time-consuming due to the shared use of inbound carriers.
Plan
The SatGuard development plan is:
Preliminary Design Review: June 2015
Critical Design Review: October 2015
Acceptance Testing and completion of the project: December 2015
Current Status
The project has resulted in the successful development of a SatGuard prototype that has been demonstrated to support a number of VSAT technologies covering a large majority of the deployed VSAT terminals.
SatGuard has been verified in live operations with SES, Eutelsat, Intelsat as well as other operators, and has been proven to solve interference problems quickly and efficiently.
