🚀 SIGMA is kicking-off!
🔝 Enhancing SatCom Capabilities for Emergency Response: The SIGMA Project
In recent years, Satellite Communication (SatCom) has emerged as a critical technology, ensuring global connectivity and reliable communication for defense, security, humanitarian aid, and emergency response. The EU GOVSATCOM initiative is paving the way for a new SatCom solution that caters to a broad range of EU and national entities.
🌐 The SIGMA Project: What’s It All About? The SIGMA project proposes a groundbreaking technical solution that integrates pooled and shared capacities from different satellite systems. Let’s dive into the key components:
1️⃣ SatCom-On-The-Move (SOTM): Operating across X-band, military Ka-band, and civil Ka-band, SOTM ensures seamless communication even while on the move.
2️⃣ 5G User Equipment Integration: By bridging SatCom with 5G networks, SIGMA enables robust connectivity across terrestrial and satellite domains.
3️⃣ Traffic Management: A specialized software solution efficiently routes traffic, optimizing communication pathways.
4️⃣ End-to-End Security: The SIGMA solution incorporates the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, safeguarding data transmission.
🌍 Real-World Demonstrations: The SIGMA project will conduct demonstrations in three distinct use cases across EU countries:
🇱🇺 Luxembourg: Simulating emergency response to flooding situations with the Corps Grand-Ducal d’Incendie.
🇩🇪 Germany: Responding to Search & Rescue operations in isolated areas alongside the University of Bundeswehr Munich and the German Armed Forces.
🇫🇷 France: Addressing terrestrial network outages during cultural or sporting events with the Service Départamental d’Incendie et de Secours.
🌟 The Consortium: The SIGMA project brings together five companies and a research center from four different countries. Their collective efforts extend beyond technical development—they’re committed to dissemination, exploitation, and communication activities, ensuring that SIGMA’s results reach the market swiftly.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting venture! 🛰️🔐
