The objective of the project was to develop, manufacture and qualify two L-Band ONETs for EADS Astrium satellites and the US market.
ONETs are high power devices used for multi-point telephony applications. In this case, two 8x8 matrices were developed. In one of them the mass and the PIM were the critical points, whereas the second one was developed with the high power requirements of the US market in mind.
In commercial programs, short delivery schedule is mandatory. This is normally in contradiction to the need for application specific requirements that need special solutions for each case. For most programs Norspace has experienced that development of hybrids normally define the minimum delivery time. The key objective in the project was to prepare lower level generic design blocks that meet the requirements for the next opportunity.

Inmarsat has completed a Technical Assistance Contract under Phase A of the Iris programme, where ESA has embarked on the development of a new satellite to aircraft communication standard in support of both safety of life and aircraft operational communication. The purpose of Inmarsat´s involvement was to assist the Agency in determining suitable options to be further developed towards eventual validation and deployment.
The TV Snapshot project aims to develop
an end-user application enabling the user to access
descriptive data about his/her favourite TV content
received in a PC via a DVB card, and later act on this
data to purchase content online.
The objective of the project was to develop and verify a new competitive member to the present set of Ku-band antennas, a dual frequency (Rx/Tx) dual port Ku-band bicone antenna.
The aim of the project is to design, develop, and manufacture a Dual Linear and Circular Polarised LNB. This new variant will be used to double the bandwidth currently available for transmitting domestic television signals.
The contract originally specified design and development of an LNB/OMT/transmitter for operation at 13GHz receive and 12.75-13.25GHz transmit. A subsequent contract change note 001 re-specified the development of a revised version of the existing Invacom transmitter operating in the 14.0-14.5GHz band.
The project objective is to develop a new LNB that integrates all of the functions from three LNBs into a single LNB unit. The result of this would be a triple horn feed Quad Polar LNB with fully frequency selectable and switched outputs.
The aim of this project is to design a new system based on the now maturing technology of Photonic Components. The current system is far more complex than necessary, and one where any further developments to carry an ever growing bandwidth to more locations is increasingly costly, complex and specialized.
This project aims to design an LNB that can receive from both linear and circularly polarised satellites which could significantly stimulate the use of space capacity for new services from existing locations.
The objective of this activity is to design
and demonstrate an integrated system for
communications and localisation services in emergency
situations e.g. in forest fire fighting, earthquakes. Direct
communication, providing voice and localisation services between on-site staff and a centralised operations
control centre is provided by the use of hand held
personal terminals, communicating via larger, more
powerful "intermediate" satellite mobile terminals.
RemFireSat provides communications and
positioning information for all emergency crew members
and to vehicles operating in the emergency scenario.
Communication is achieved via short messages that can
also be used to communicate standard information,
panic buttons, etc. Extensive utilisation of remote
sensing data, which is provided in the field via a
dedicated processing centre, is another key feature of
the system.
The project objective is to develop a software tool for optimising the RF performance of multi-mode horns with body-of-revolution symmetry for communication and tracking applications.
This project aims to develop a maritime BGAN terminal integrated with a mobile phone
3G Pico cell so crews can use their personal mobile phones for social communication.
The Mayflower Project employs satellite
multicasting IP over DVB and Internet return channel to
enable the delivery of university courses in Medicine
using on-line and off-line applications built on Open
Software. Two groups of participants employed the
system. One group was based in Italy and was led by
the University of Perugia, which focused on nursing. The
other group was based in Norway and led by the
University of Tromsoe, which focused on nursing and
medicine. Students attended Perugia University courses
either from home or the University classrooms.
