FR in the Sky

"FR in the Sky" is a service that works with a working with a MF-TDMA modulation on a Frame Relay base. All terminals which are setup on the system are linked to the center or directly to each other. It works without the need of a control station as Fully Meshed. All locations which are linked to the system are using the assigned CIR (Committed Information Rate) effectively.

Looking at usage and application areas of FR in The Sky, it can offer the total of what other SCPC and VSAT applications assembled by several systems can do plus much more additional specialties.

FR in The Sky offers terminals for every single location a capacity between 8 Kbps and 8x2Mbps and unlike other systems it also supports asymmetric work.

With its special feature band with on demand FR in The Sky can be used at maximum efficiency in the Aerospatiale area.

• Technology: Connected to the center it is capable to mutual communication between far away located
regions through satellite and FR protocol

• Independant on geograhpy: Every point can be connected to the center at high speed

• Network Management: The satellite communication infrastructure allows central control and
management possibilities, so that a continuous communication at high level (99.9%) can be secured
on the net.

• Video-conference: The satellite can be used for video-conference purposes instantly.

• Temporary Capacity Increases: If at any location the need for high capacity is given, additional
   capacity will be triggered.

High Technology

• Full integration with LAN
• Equal performance in all concentration regions
• Quality voice communication with low capatity usage
• CIR and EIR values for each location
• Standard Frame Relay interfaces

Advantages

• Since it works without the need for a ground control station is needed, performance and response
   time is reduced to the half.
• Due to real FR switching on the satellite it is an ideal open platform for all interfaces and application
  (voice and data).
• Point to point performance can be guaranteed at FR standard
• Dynamic capacity usage => capacity usage is optimised by statistic multiplexing and
• Capacity for server and user can be seperated appropriately for the momentary need.
• Integration can be ensured for NMS (Network Management System) SNMP (Simple Network
  Management protocol) based elements and other user infrastructure.
• Ideal for organisations working in decentral environments. Multicast data allocation possibility.
• A total with Single control and management.
