ENENSYS DVB-S2X Multi-Wide Beam Technology selected by Thales Alenia Space for its new Ground Segment

ENENSYS Technologies, a leading provider of media delivery solutions, is pleased to announce that Thales Alenia Space has selected ENENSYS’ satellite modulation technology for their new High Ka Capacity Ground System.

Eutelsat KONNECT VHTS, a very high-capacity satellite system intended to support the development of very high-speed fixed satellite and in-flight connectivity sectors in Europe, is based on the latest generation of Thales Alenia Space satellites. This new generation of satellites, carrying on board the most powerful digital processor ever put into orbit, is capable of combining flexibility in capacity allocation with optimal use of the spectrum and progressive deployment of the network on the ground.

At the present time, Thales Alenia Space is developing the most competitive ground segment solution in the market, with a total capacity of 500 Gbps in Ka band. Requiring the best technology available in the market, Thales Alenia Space has selected the ENENSYS Tyger satellite modulator platform that will be enhanced to support wide-band and multi-beam DVB-S2/S2X capabilities, offering further flexibility and simplified integration while reducing space and cost.

This development is supported by the ESA (European Space Agency) and CNES (French Space Agency) who are participating in funding of the project.

“ENENSYS’ solution and expertise will contribute to secure the development of our Space Gate user segment product which provides a satellite network access solution.” stated Eric LE TOLLEC, Space Gate Product Line Development Manager at Thales Alenia Space.

“We are very excited and proud to be a partner of Thales Alenia Space for this new satellite IP connectivity challenge and future systems.” declared Christophe TROLET, Modem Products Director at ENENSYS. “This also recognises our expertise and innovation in developing powerful solutions” he added.
