| Description | Satellite modem (remote terminal) for IoT/M2M applications with smaller size and relaxed power requirements and also a very optimized use of bandwidth resources (i.e. sharing the same resources among thousands of user terminals) enabling profitable IoT/M2M applications. It will provide the communication link between trains and operation center without any network synchronisation requirements. Each train can transmit whenever and wherever without having to wait for any network information. |
| Main output | It provides an efficient and low cost satcom modem allowing to keep the connectivity in these remote areas where any other land-based communication infrastructure is deployed. It will be integrated in the Use Case 3 as an External Communication Module both within the Onboard L&M Gateway (Train domain) and the Enhanced L&M Gateway (Ontrack domain). |
| BB category | HW component |
| Baseline | Communication protocol coming from ESA project (Iris program) where Indra was leading the definition and design of the new standard (waveform) for ATM communications via satellite. Indra has a prototype (TRL-4) of the GES modem (HUB side) implementing a SIC receiver (Interference canceller). Indra aims to adapt this waveform to be used for M2M applications and develop the remote terminal to on- board on trains. |
| Current TRL | TRL-3. It is justified due to , on one hand, the proposed M2M waveform design was consolidated by mean of SW simulation model (i.e.transmitter and receiver are simulated at bit/sample level), using MATLAB and on the other hand, the receiver component was already implemented in a receiver front-end HW prototype (i.e bread-board) and subsequently validated in a real-time satcom network simulator. |
| Target TRL | TRL-7. Objective: to reach a validated HW prototype (modem) for receiver (hub side) and transmitter (remote side) in an emulated real- time operational environment (without satellite bandwidth leasing). |
