The goal of the Altobridge solution is to provide GSM services in a number of deployments using efficient use of satellite bandwidth through the AltoBridge patented Call handling Model and Signalling Encoding Scheme.
THAUMAS will define and start the validation of the upgrades to SwiftBroadband required to achieve Continental Safety Services as a complement to the future terrestrial ATM services being developed by the SESAR programme.
The THAUMAS initiative (Tailored and Harmonised satcom for ATM Uses, Maximising re-use of Aero SwiftBroadband) has been defined in line with the Artes 10 objectives. Starting from the well proven SwiftBroadband technology, the project will define the upgrades needed to offer ATM services. The resulting system, called SB-S (SwiftBroadband-Safety) will be designed for compliance with stringent services and applications defined in the frame of the SESAR programme.
The objective of this project is to design, manufacture and qualify an EM and PFM of low power conditioning unit for Telecom satellite. This PCU is targeted to address Satellite market with up to 4.2 kW power capabilities.
For almost thirty years from now, the Cospas-Sarsat worldwide Search and Rescue satellite system has been in operation, rescuing more than 26 000 distress victims. The scope in the Cospas-Sarsat Antennas project is to develop a body-worn antenna, suitable to be integrated into a life vest platform together with a commercial Cospas-Sarsat distress transmitter.
The project ISIDE intends to develop,
implement and validate a satellite based system of NCinema (N for networked), oriented at providing a range
of services and applications in the field of D- (Digital)
and E- (Electronic) Cinema. Over a period of two years,
the project realises a permanent validation platform for N-Cinema, in order to cover the complete representation
of the relevant service value chains. The objective will
be to validate and promote different forms of
exploitation of the theatres, ranging from featuring
digital movies, digital advertising and alternative
contents to live events, shows in virtual reality and
interactive applications.
This study aims to clarify the demand for standardisation in network operations, in particular in relation to network performance monitoring. We want to analyse the typical (Key) Performance Indicators (KPIs) used in network operations and troubleshooting processes.
The work to be performed in this project will produce a series of white papers describing provision of efficient networking and MAC techniques that satisfy key commercial requirements for the satellite interactive network.
The study aims at assessing and analysing the benefits of introducing on-board satellite payload flexibility with respect to the more classical design of satellite payloads. The non-uniform traffic demand distribution and the uncertainty of the evolution of the traffic demand distribution during the satellite lifetime are the main reasons to introduce on-board flexibility.
The objective of this study is to make a commercial assessment of the two-way satellite broadband systems and to identify which areas of development and standardisation will improve the two-way satellite broadband business globally.
