Contract to develop space-based NB-IoT network
GateHouse Telecom has, with support from the Danish Agency for Science and Higher Education, signed a contract with the European Space Agency forspace-based NB-IoT networks. The project aims to develop a solution for extending existing NB-IoT protocols to enable a space-based Narrowband-IoT network.
Ultra-precise positioning for high-volume applications
Septentrio has announced that it is starting high-volume production of mosaic-X5,the next-generation multi-constellation and multi-band receiver module,which brings ultra-precise positioning for high-volume applications.
£2m boost to initiate satellite launch
Shetland Space Centre’s (SSC) plan to build and operate the UK’s only satellite launch site has been given a major boost by a £2,050,000 investment from Leonne International, the international private equity firm.
Isolated splitters come space-tested
Addressing the need to create a streamlined procurement experience by shifting the testing responsibility away from the customer, Smiths Interconnect has released its SpaceNXT MWC Series of high reliability multi-way isolated splitters in high-frequency Ku-bands.
Is there life on Mars?
Is there life on Mars? A Kingston University engineering graduate is hoping to help answer that question when Europe's first Mars rover blasts off for the Red Planet later this year.
Improve embedded system development with simulation
Many organisations rely on traditional embedded system development processes. These processes work fine – but ultimately prevents the organisation from advancing further. Relying on physical labs for testing and development holds back innovation and slows things down. Guest blog written by Sean Evoy, Wind River.
Radiation-qualified devices enable Ethernet in space
Ethernet is becoming more common in spacecraft to enable hardwired communication speed, support higher data rates, and facilitate interoperability between satellites and other spacecraft. As Ethernet in space applications continues to expand, Microchip Technology has announced a space-qualified Ethernet transceiver.
Low-power radiation-tolerant FPGA for high-bandwidth space systems
Microchip has announced the RT PolarFire FPGA that is optimised to meet the most demanding requirements in spacecraft payload systems’ high-speed data paths with the lowest possible power consumption and heat generation. Microchip has extended its RT FPGA offering to bring these capabilities to emerging high-performance space applications.
What will 2020 bring for the satellite industry?
IoT will be the most prevailing trend in the satcom industry in 2020, predicts the satellite communications waveform and test tool specialist, GateHouse Telecom. Significant advancements within satellite enabled data relay, environmental monitoring, and flight safety will also influence satcom in the year to come.
Right angle termination to 1.25mm pitch connectors
Due to popular demand, Harwin has extended its award-winning Gecko-SL (Screw-Lok) product range to include horizontal male connectors. The successful Gecko range has gained many fans amongst engineers, giving them a more compact, lightweight alternative to conventional Micro-D connectors.
