THALES RELEASES FULLY DIGITAL SATELLITE TO ADDRESS FAST MOVING MARKET NEEDS
Thales Alenia Space, joint venture between Thales and Leonardo, is proud to launch its new Space INstant SPace In-orbit Reconfiguration – INSPIRE satellite product line which allows seamless mission and services reconfiguration, instant in-orbit adjustment to the demand, transition from video broadcasting to broadband connectivity services while maximizing the efficiency & effective use of the satellite resources.
“Space Inspire is a game changer in the rapidly changing space markets, creating profound mutations in telecommunications. Our customers increasingly face the need to develop advanced services and seize new business opportunities, as they appear, while enhancing their business efficiency – Said to Spazio-News Magazine Jean-Loïc Galle, CEO of Thales Alenia Space -. Through Thales Alenia Space new product line, total mission digitalization and full flexibility enable satellite operators to allocate capacity anywhere, at any time, whatever the waveform”.
Over the past several years, Thales Alenia Space has invested in digitization of its offer, leading to new skills, new products and strategic partnerships to anticipate this transformation. These efforts, supported by CNES (French space agency) and European Space Agency – ESA, are bearing fruits for communication satellites and in particular allowed Thales Alenia Space to match the connectivity needs by leading the VHTS – Very High Throughput market and to be the first worldwide company to offer a fully digital payload processing up to a terabit class.
Transforming a Direct to Home TV satellite into a High Throughput connectivity satellite and changing its coverage in quasi real time was unconceivable a few years ago. Thales has designed its newest Space Inspire Satellite product line in order to meet this challenge at unprecedented price point. This new, software defined, smaller mid- sized satellite solution, joins SpacebusTM NEO satellite line to enrich the Thales Alenia Space’ portfolio.
Extremely high capacity, agility, in-orbit reconfiguration, flexible coverage, proven serial production, is becoming a reality thanks to Thales Alenia Space innovative solutions.
