Description
The objective of this activity is to develop a complete system platform able to demonstrate the S-band system performances inproviding real-time communications to specific categories of professional users, and in particular to public safety and first-responder operators in emergency situations. In this service segment, the S-band system shall provide a communicationinfrastructure for aiding public and institutional forces in disaster recovery operations, exploiting the high-availability of the satellite link when terrestrial communication infrastructure are not present or unavailable. In this context, the capability ofanswering to the institutional users' needs of establishing interactive two-way real-time voice and possibly video communicationstowards one or multiple operational centres is essential. The modules developed in precursor activities shall be integrated inthe system platform. Furthermore, all the necessary additional software/hardware elements, which are
