Satellite Networks &
Architectures Branch
|
We are addressing an emerging need for development of architectural frameworks
for the next-generation space-based global information systems. By performing
an assessment of next generation satellite network architectures for information
infrastructure applications, we hope to identify long-term technology requirements
and needs. In addition, we intend to provide technical contributions to various
standards-making bodies regarding architectures and reference models.
Our approach is:
- Define market trends for satellite addressable global information infrastructure markets
- Develop conceptual architectures for third generation space-based architectures
- Perform network analysis for a space-based information infrastructure
- Perform technology and economic assessments
Recently, studies have been completed on next-generation, space-based architectures for
broadband services and market trends. The studies are available upon request. Technical contributions
have been provided to ANSI-IISP and ITU-T Study Group 13 (GII Architectures).
