The Portuguese multinational Tekever leads a European consortium that will develop a project to improve communications between satellites, and from these to the earth, a community investment of one million euros, one of the administrators.
The project, “Screen – Space Cognitive Radio for Electromagnetic Environment Management” is based on a technology already used in land mobile communications, such as mobile phones – the SDR (Software Defined Radio) – and incorporates a another, the Cognitive Radio System, to support the efficient use of the electromagnetic spectrum, and already used in military radios abroad.
The “Screen” to develop within two years will ” advance in communication “between satellites, and satellites to Earth,” reducing interference “, when a bail-indicating technology automatically” frequencies that are more available to the best use, “said one of the Lusa administrators 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”
The consortium belong, 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, for alumni 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 microsatellite, 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 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.
