The DEDICATION project aims to develop ground-segment products compliant with the new DVB-S2 standard and turn such equipment into proper commercial products.
S@Commerce intends to generate
revenue streams from the intelligent use of existing
digital satellite TV broadcasting channels to home
viewers who are also PC home users. The S@Commerce
applications platform transmits a catalogue to the end
users through the satellite TV channel on the PC via an
'off-line' connection. S@Commerce in fact delivers and
stores the catalogue and its functionality in a local
environment, allowing the customer to access the
information any time. As the available satellite capacity
is large enough to transfer large amounts of data, the
Service Provider can offer innovative multimedia assets
and e-advertising.
The project extends an E-GSM-900 low cost, low power 1TRX GSM radio and bandwidth efficient “GSM over IP over DVB-RCS†integration for low opex GSM backhaul into GSM-850, DCS-1900 and PCS-1800 bands. The product family is also provided with CE marking and the production line is established through pre-production.

The HERMES project aims at
implementing pilot operations both in Tele-Medicine and in Tele-Education, using asymmetrical Internet via
satellite and dedicated hardware / software platforms.
The network basic architecture used to implement and
develop this project is based on the Iperspace Platform
for telemedicine and Evolv-e for Distance Learning, both
offered by Telespazio as part of its IP via satellite service
portfolio.
The SIRIO study aims at delivering a feasibility analysis of a Satellite Communication services operations and provision scheme for ATM, in terms of complexity, risks and financial benefits for Satellite-Based Aeronautical actors involved. Ultimately, the study identifies an optimised Service Provision Scheme, demonstrating its technical, social and financial benefits.
A comprehensive investigation has been undertaken to study the effects that hypervelocity impact of micrometeoroids may have on GEO solar generators, in particular, whether and under which conditions permanent short-circuits may be induced by impact-generated plasma at the impact location.
This project aims to design and develop the prototype of a miniaturised microwave radiometer to be used as a channel assessment instrument in the ground segment of Satellite Communications systems and in SatCom propagation campaigns.
As part of the global roadmap and development logic to implement GaAs Solar Arrays on the overall Spacebus™ 4000C range, this project covers the establishment of the full design and justification file of a 4-panels wing (CDR level) and its qualification for next Spacebus™ application programs (PFM wing qualification).
This activity aims to clarify the conditions necessary for the development of a software module which offers the possibility for communication satellite payload operation to correlate spatial information from the ground segment with the space segment.
The main objective of the activity was to study and demonstrate new architectures for low-cost mobile terminal antennas suitable for linearly polarized satellite links. Two scenarios were identified, one for a transmit-only (Tx), and another for a receive-only (Rx) antenna.
The PLANET service aims at providing means for aviation to get in-flight information updates on weather conditions and hazards, while contributing at the same time to the observation of the atmosphere thanks to in situ measurements (e.g. pressure, temperature and wind) sent from the aircraft to the weather agencies. Besides, the system targets in-flight reporting of dangerous encountered weather conditions via the delivery of digital PIREPs (pilot reports) to other aircrafts, and other non-meteorological services such as in-flight messaging or tracking.
Business, Regional aircrafts and General Aviation (i.e. small aircrafts) represent in order of importance the main commercial targets of the PLANET service.
The main objective of this ARTES 3-4 Applications (Newcomers) project is to develop a prototype of the PLANET service with a representative sub-set of in situ-sensors and weather products to efficiently demonstrate the solution to potential users of General Aviation (i.e. small aircrafts).
Recent market studies have highlighted a significant business opportunity in the development of a satellite-based Video On Demand ("VOD") solution.
VOD content is pushed (therefore the name "PushVOD") by the network operator onto the customer´s digital TV receiver. Content is not streamed, but chopped into discrete “chunks†and broadcast.
The ISIDE 4 Africa (I4A) project is an extension of the ISIDE project. I4A focuses on the provision of educational content and Internet access to African primary and professional high schools and to health and cultural centres. In a nutshell, I4A aims at providing a one-stop-solution for the collection, organization, delivery and use of digital educational contents based on the ISIDE platform/service.
The aim of the project is to develop a low cost end-to-end solution for satellite based triple-play services. The platform uses existing infrastructure to enable TV, telephone and IP communication. Satellites are used for downlink communication and different terrestrial media are used for the return traffic.
This project supports ESA in light of a changing regulatory and technically evolutionary environment in defending the needs of the satellite communication community to maintain future availability and growth potential of the frequency spectrum needed for the provision of satellite communication and broadcasting services.
This activity endeavours to leverage the prior development of a compact Ku Band filter into a complete multiplexer concept. Of particular interest is the design optimisation of the filter to minimize multiplexer footprint while maintaining or improving power handling and RF performance.
The project has developed a new IP over DVB encapsulation to provide Internet services over DVB broadcast networks. The current common encapsulation, Multiprotocol Encapsulation (MPE), while providing basic services, adds non-necessary overhead to the IP packet while not fully supporting the IP requirements for next generation networks. Amongst those is the support to the IP version 6 (IPv6) packets, dynamic address resolution and quality of service.
The L*IP Satellite System is a communication product hand-tailored for the Internet Protocol and its real time and non-real time applications. Video, voice and data applications can be supported via this network.

end solution, including the active participation of two
hundred UK schools from fifteen UK Local Education
Authorities (LEAs).

and deployment plan for a fully operational and
sustainable service for the Irish compulsory school
sector based on a strategic mix of unicast and multicast
services.
