multiple priority levels (standard, high, emergency) and
validate the functional and operational performance for
an innovative alarm- and surveillance application.

and publishes consumer and social insight data using
advanced media format with high impact potentials for
the end users.
The objective of the study is to investigate a wider design space of congestion control mechanisms compatible with the I-PEP specification for the purpose of accelerating HTTP transfers, while maintaining good performance for generic large-volume TCP transfers.
The objective of the project is to develop a miniature satellite communications user terminal platform known as 'PocketSAT'. This platform is aimed at L-band mobile satcom services, including hand-held, land-mobile and maritime. Phase 3 is to extend the PocketSAT developments in another direction: private packet-data networks operating over leased satellite capacity.
The goal of this project is to assess the technical and business benefits of integrating the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) in Satellite based core telecom networks, and to explore to what extent any recommendations coming from this study can be merged into standardisation activities to allow a broad and open adaptation across the industry.
The main objective of the project is to study and demonstrate that broadband Satcom networks can be seamlessly integrated within an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) based network, both in terms of protocols and performance.
Mobile satellite-based communications systems will be introduced into the markets in increasing numbers. Satellite transponders carrying traffic of such systems demand challenging capabilities both from the transponder payload and from the test systems used to validate them. This project aims to capture the requirements of a generic MTP-RMS that supports testing and verifying mobile communications payloads.
The goal of the ALOA PrePhase-B was to consolidate the system architecture for the ALOA payload, based on the service requirements of Orbcomm Inc. as a major potential customer, as well as to establish a sound business understanding for further development.
The key issue addressed in this project is lower-cost production methods for Ka band waveguide components that satisfy all the functional, mechanical and environmental requirements.
COM Dev will develop Ka band hardware with improved performance in areas such as power rating, bandwidth, frequency (data rate), signal attenuation, mass, reliability and longevity. This technology will support the expanding commercial European Ka band satellite program requirements.
This project developed a verification test bed for DVB-RCS hubs. It is an extension of the Common Test Bed for DVB-RCS terminals, and is based on the VeriSat Terminal Population Emulator. The HTB will be handed over to the same independent test house (CETECOM) responsible for testing and certification of DVB-RCS terminals on behalf of The SatLabs Group.
This project aims at the provision of a Highly Integrated Converter at Ku-band with significantly reduced size, mass, cost and production time compared to today's converters, still meeting the high performance requirements.
The proposed project aims to establish the equipment requirements and a modular design concept for a new generation of converters and receivers on C-band and Ku-band.
This project studies the evolution of broadband satellite access systems towards the NGN infrastructure (allowing multi-services over a single all-IP access platform), focusing on SLA management.
The objective of the project is to decrease the NRE cost for new or modified products in Saab Space's horn antenna family. The aim is to introduce a new process for the design work.
The objectives of this project are to develop a high power 5 kW gridded ion thruster, referred to as the T6 Mk3, and its associated PSCU for Alphabus station keeping.
The Common Test Bed allows the certification of DVB-RCS terminals, which is an important step in achieving terminal interoperability. The outcomes so far have resulted in an important contribution to the development of a compact Hub Emulator well suited to support cost-effective DVB-RCS terminal development.
A SW-tool has been developed which allows the user to optimise the RF performance of smooth or corrugated conical horns for communications and tracking purposes. A horn has been designed, manufactured and tested.
The main goal of this project is to provide a completely operational prototype capable of supplying structured information on the space environment and the effects on spacecraft to assist with satellite maintenance.
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.
A Mechanically Pumped Fluid Loop loop Flight Experiment (MPFL-FX) is proposed to be flown as Technology Demonstrator Program (TDP) on the Alphasat mission. The main MPFL-FX objective is to carry-out the on-orbit life testing of the MPFL components in order to increase its acceptance with respect to future customers.
The End to End Performance and Security Enhancements program is an incremental, evolutionary development of Advantech Satellite Networks´ successful product line of DVB-RCS hubs and terminals.
