The project, “Screen – Space Cognitive Radio for Electromagnetic Environment Management,” based on a technology already used in land mobile communications, such as mobile phones – the SDR (Software Defined Radio) – and incorporates another, Cognitive Radio System, support the efficient use of the electromagnetic spectrum, and already used in military radios abroad.
The “Screen” to develop within two years, will “continue its communication” between satellites, and satellites to Earth, “reducing interference”, when a bail-indicating technology automatically “that frequencies more are available to the best use, “he told Lusa one of the administrators of Tekever, Ricardo Mendes.
The new system of spatial communication costs one million euros, funds fully supported by EU funds, under the encouragement of innovation Horizon 2020 program.
Justifying excecionalidade investment, Ricardo Mendes said the space market is conservative: “few technologies are tested in space, given the high costs.”
Are part of the consortium, among others, the Institute of Systems and Computer Engineering of Porto.
The Tekever, today a multinational company with offices in UK, USA, China and Brazil, was founded in 2001, in Lisbon, by former students of the Instituto Superior Técnico.
Several years ago, produces technologies for the markets of Information Technology, Aeronautics, Space, Defence and Security, counting on the guest list with the European Space Agency ESA and the Chinese engineering center for microsatellites, added the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The planes and unmanned systems group were used in missions patrolling the PSP in June in Lisbon, in the final of the Champions League, and are at the service of NATO in Kosovo.
In the previous EU framework, 2007-2013, the multinational coordinated and participated in about 20 projects in partnership with universities and international scientific research.
