The work has been divided into 2 phases, where the 1st phase focuses on the study and develops a SW simulation environment to evaluate the performance of the selected MIMO techniques.
The study objectives focused on the feasibility, definition and size of an integrated mobile system dedicated to European Public Safety and Security operations. A hybrid system, composed of satellite, CGC and PMR segments is envisaged to meet the end-users´ requirements.
This study aims to identify architectural remedies using the emerging technologies that allow generic OBP designs which can be re-programmed in-orbit for more efficient and flexible operation.
he main objective and scope of the study is to assess the commercial and technical feasibility of a number of non-safety (i.e. APC and AAC) aeronautical communication solutions and business models in order to identify the commercial viability and technical feasibility of current and emerging connectivity solutions for the Air Transport, Business Aviation and Government market segments.
The study will explore new air interface techniques and supporting payload/ground segment solutions for providing more cost effective broadcast/interactive services in the near future. The main emphasis is on validating the merits of the new promising solutions being proposed, such as MIMO, interference cancellation, on-ground beamforming, hybrid satellite /terrestrial coverage.
The CONT-TRAK project aims to provide a
unique, low-cost solution to make container shipping
more efficient and enhance trade security. It will ensure
continuous container monitoring and tracking from the
point of origin, by truck, rail or ship (buried in a stacked
environment) to the final destination. A suite of sensors
within the container will ensure immediate satcom
notification of any tampering, thus enhancing the safety
and security of container transportation.
