NMSC supporting new cross-discipline satellite technology

New capabilities will be added over time. Particular emphasis will be given to providing Systems Simulations and satellite Terminals Testing facilities. By filling in the NMSC online questionnaire, potential users can help the NMSC fine-tune their facilities to meet user needs and market developments.
 
 

Employing satellite communications for tele-education

The test and development environment offered by the NMSC is for services, applications and equipment combining any of the traditional telecommunications disciplines (multimedia, mobile or broadcast), navigation and Earth imaging, which employ satellite communications in some form. Some of the uses envisaged include tele-medicine, tele-education, advanced satellite networks and satellite-based emergency management systems.

The satellite industry, research and development institutes, applications developers and equipment manufacturers will be able to use the centre for terminal testing and system simulation. Institutional users such as civil protection, fire and forest services, will benefit in areas such as pilot technology trials, hands-on training and potentially from support during real emergencies.
