12TH MAY 2015 I 12.30 – 16.30
Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore
The evolution and future of FSS and
MSS milsatcom data services
Hosted by Michael Rupar, Head, Satellite and Wireless
Networking Section, Naval Research Lab
Overview:
In the pioneering days of satcom, mobile satellite
services (MSS) were synonymous with maritime satellite
services and the L-band, and fixed satellite services (FSS)
with data/VSAT links and the C- and Ku-bands. And in an
era of 9.6 kpbs terrestrial data modems the Inmarsat L-
band 64 kbps High Speed Data service would have
appeared to adequately address the current and future
mobile data requirements of the day. However, fast-
forward to the Internet era and operators are now
looking to satisfy both military and civilian user data
requirements of the order of tens or hundreds of
megabits per second – and not only to fixed installations
but to a multitude of mobile platforms such as ships,
aircraft and land-based users. These demands were
initially met on large, relatively-stable mobile platforms,
such as large ships and oil-rigs, by the use of C-band
satcoms but the development of increasingly
sophisticated antenna stabilisation and adaptive
coding modulation systems has enabled the successful
widespread use of Ka-band, with its associated high
data rates, for satellite communications across a range
of fixed and mobile platforms. So how do we now
distinguish between FSS and MSS for military use? Do we
still treat them as complementary capabilities or have
they converged to the point that they are barely
distinguishable services? This workshop reviews the
technical and regulatory historical factors influencing
the development of MSS and FSS services, explores the
relevance of these factors to milsatcoms today and
identifies the technologies that have made these
services possible.
Why you should attend:
This workshop will enable satcom users to understand
how technical innovation has enabled satellite services,
both military and civilian, to evolved from the 9.6kbps
data services of 25 years ago to the multi-megabit per
second global services available today. Attendees will
learn what they can expect from these services today
and what lies in the future.
