Peace Building and Damage Assessment: Improving Disaster Response Capacity

The SatResponse study investigated how new technical, commercial and operational models can be used to more effectively deliver satellite communications and other space-based application services (Earth Observation and Geo-located application services) to Disaster Responders. The target users for this study are European and International Disaster Responders. This includes: UN Agencies; International Organisations; NGOs; Civil Protection Authorities.

Satellite modem for Internet access in rural areas

The objective of this project is to develop a Satellite modem for Internet access in rural areas with the DVB-S2 technology. The product will compliment all existing ADSL solutions.

One-way Internet over satellite gateway

The objective of the project was to develop Forsway’s one-way Internet over satellite gateway, Mímir, into a carrier grade solution for operators of all sized. Mímir is a one-way Internet over satellite gateway. It integrates a performance enhancing proxy, user management and authentication, transponder load balancing etc. This project will enable the possibility for really large deployments of one-way Internet over satellite services with a potential to reach new markets.

Easy And Safe Yachting – Demonstration Project

The objective of EASY Demonstration Project is to develop a demonstrator of “one-stop-shop” services for the high-value leisure yachting market mainly for the Mediterranean Sea, integrating various space assets (Satellite Communications and Satellite Navigation). The integrated system will provide enhanced services to make yachting more reliable, safe and “easy”, thereby attracting a wider spectrum of potential users.

Containerised Gateway initial feasibility study

Urban Forest Monitoring Platform

This study assesses the practicalities of collecting improved urban forestry data through the integration of EO satellite imagery and GNSS as well as crowdsourcing and Open Data. New Commons service targets the collection and analysis of urban forestry data for those organisations charged with the management of that resource while also performing an important public awareness and outreach function. This includes academic researchers, arborists, municipal authorities and NGO's.
