How can satellite technology make maritime communications safer, smarter and more connected?
Today, OHB Italia S.p.A. participated in the Ku Band and Broadband Space Communication and Navigation Conference, organised by Politecnico di Milano, contributing to the special session “Maritime Connectivity and Surveillance – Advanced Satellite Solutions”.
An excellent opportunity to present POSEIDON, an innovative satellite constellation concept designed to enhance maritime connectivity, safety and surveillance.
POSEIDON uses the capabilities of #VDES (VHF Data Exchange System), the next generation of #AIS technology, which enables narrowband communications between vessels and shore stations. By integrating VDES into a satellite constellation and taking advantage of the 5G backbone of IRIS², POSEIDON aims to extend these capabilities to global, real-time maritime connectivity.
Equipped with visible and infrared cameras, as well as #RF receivers, POSEIDON will combine advanced communications and observation capabilities to provide a new level of Maritime Situational Awareness, supporting safer navigation and more effective maritime monitoring.
