For planet earth and beyond
21 September 2016 – A new whitepaper, Assessing satellite-terrestrial integration opportunities in the 5G environment, prepared with the support of ESA through the ARTES programme, is now available for download.
20 September 2016 – At IBC 2016, Newtec (BE) was presented with CSI Magazine’s “Best Cable or Satellite IP Solution” award for the second release of its DVB-S2X-compatible MCX7000 Multi-Carrier Satellite Gateway.
15 Sept 2016 - ESA and the SESAR Joint Undertaking have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation to work more closely in modernising air traffic management through satellite-based communications.
10 September 2016 – Siemens Convergence Creators has developed a new interference geolocation system, ILS ONE, that works with a single satellite. It has been successfully deployed by Eutelsat since early 2016, and other operators are now evaluating the system.
31 August 2016 – With the support of ARTES programme, Tesat-Spacecom (DE) developed a new line of input multiplexers which are now processing upwards of 1,400 channels on multiple telecoms missions.
15 July 2016 – Tesat-Spacecom (DE) has developed robust, automised processes for the mass production of coaxial interface circulators and isolators for satellites. Some 10,000 units have now been produced this way, making the new product line an unparalleled success.
13 July 2016 – With support from ESA, a European consortium led by Airbus DS has developed a novel Deployable Panel Radiator that will provide much-needed additional radiating capacity for highly dissipative payloads, such as those planned for the next generation of very high throughput satellites.
Industry Days: 22-23 November 2016, ESTEC (Noordwijk, the Netherlands)
During this multi-disciplinary two-day event at ESTEC, participants will have the opportunity to explore the use of additive manufacturing techniques for RF/microwave hardware and possible solutions. UPDATE: This event is now fully booked.
28 June 2016 – ESA has launched a new Invitation to Tender with the goal of encouraging development of low data rate satellite communications concepts that would be suitable for diverse Machine-to-Machine and Internet of Things applications.
