Advanced Mobility

Bandwidth / QoS

• Advanced Mobility delivers exceptional bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS) through cutting-edge functionality. Global Bandwidth Management ensures operators maintain precise control over their space segment while enabling fast and seamless beam switching for uninterrupted connectivity.
• With Acquisition Signaling Channels, scalability across beams and terminals, and Antenna performance enhanced by OpenAMIP, operators can achieve maximum flexibility and efficiency for superior operational outcomes.

Domain-based Automatic Beam Switching

• This feature transforms network efficiency by allowing entire groups of terminals to switch seamlessly across “domains.” Its automatic and distributed node structure guarantees redundancy and reliability.
• Proprietary logic enables external nodes to adjoin networks with ease, while multi-orbit capacity can be added, ensuring uninterrupted performance across diverse environments.

NGSO Operations

• Advanced Mobility underpins NGSO (Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit) capabilities with the industry’s first multi-orbit tracking algorithm. Operators benefit from real-time satellite tracking and dynamic beam maps, ensuring optimized scheduling and routing.
• Enhanced beam switching and multi-orbit best path routing further improve connectivity, delivering a reliable and future-ready network architecture.

Map Innovations

• Mapping capabilities have been reimagined to support SDS and NGSO configurations. Maps are optimized to significantly reduce loading times and size, all while providing enhanced data for better terminal-side beam selection.
• Regulatory compliance is bolstered with advanced features for improved enforcement, enabling operators to manage resources efficiently while staying within operational guidelines.

Radio Resource Management

• Radio Resource Management provides real-time control via a satellite network resource orchestration API. Low-latency map updates dynamically adapt to changes in network conditions, allowing operators to respond instantly to shifting demands.
• Enhanced load balancing ensures optimal resource distribution, preserving network performance and delivering an unmatched experience for end-users.
