CLIENT LIST

Our support has been provided to clients on a world-wide basis, and includes the following typical contracts:

Satellite Procurement and Design

We have supported numerous satellite programmes, with payloads operating at L-band, C-Band, Ku-Band and Ka-Band, for African, Asian, European and North American customers.  This support has included evaluation of proposals and contractor selection, participation in Design and Test Reviews and monitoring of day-to-day contractor activities on behalf of customer organisations, and spacecraft design and analysis activities on behalf of satellite manufacturers.  Spacecraft classes have ranged from hundreds of kilogrammes to several tonnes, and from MEO to GEO.

We have also assisted with negotiations leading to frequency coordination.

Ground Segment Implementation

We have provided project management and technical support for the design, procurement, installation and commissioning of ground segment facilities for communications and meteorological satellite systems, including Satellite Control Centres, network Control Centres, TT&C/TCR ground stations, In-Orbit Test systems, and related equipment and systems.  These ground segment systems have ranged from single site collocated ground station and control centre to worldwide network of ground stations and diversely located control centres.  We also assisted with the commissioning of the ground segment for an astronomical satellite.  Experience includes activities in countries such as Cameroon, Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Korea, Thailand and the United Kingdom

We assisted with initial operation and operator readiness for a LEO GMPCS system and provided support towards integration of the ground segment for another GMPCS operator.

Telecommunications

We have provided a wide range of telecommunications-related support, including the following as a typical list:

Derived national telecommunications requirements and designed a communications payload to support them, to be integrated into a mini-satellite

Provided project management and technical support for the implementation of single-antenna and multi-antenna earth stations in countries such as Angola, Cyprus, Lebanon, Somalia and the United Kingdom.

Supported the planning of integration activities for the backbone telecommunications networks of satellite communications systems.

Provided a Type Approval service for a mobile satellite communications operator and specified and supported procurement of an Approval Test House for another mobile satellite communications operator.

Managed development studies leading to the definition of next generation subscriber terminals for a mobile satellite communications operator.

Studied the applicability of satellite communications to augment the existing infrastructure of a national telecommunications network operator.

Performed a feasibility study, into the implementation of an Inmarsat Land Earth Station (on a regional basis) for Africa.

Supported the preparation of a Business Plan and the negotiation of operating and financial agreements for the use of INTELSAT space segment capacity, for a new regional satellite system operator.

Other Contracts

In addition, we have provided formal training to several clients; on satellite technologies, on satellite communications systems, and on antenna technologies for automotive applications.
