THE ASMS TASK FORCE - VISION & PURPOSE

Build on past and present experience with mobile satellite systems

Maintain Europe's position as a world leader in the manufacture and operation of satellite mobile systems, and the provision of satellite mobile services to end-users

Ensure that mobile satellite communications is developed in a manner which is consistent worldwide


ACTIONS TO GROW THE MARKET

Extend existing niche Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) towards larger capacity, higher bit rates, lower equipment cost and lower usage charges. Initial targets are the existing maritime, aeronautical and land mobile markets.

Develop Direct Mobile Multicasting & Broadcasting, addressing mainly the consumer market, as well specific corporate markets, as a complementary overlay to terrestrial networks.

Extend wireless mobile terrestrial networks: i.e. coverage extension, coverage completion, global roaming and rapid deployment.


THE ASMS TASK FORCE - CURRENT PRIORITIES (1)Retention & utilisation of current MSS & SDAB

allocations; extension of current L Band MSS allocation; forecasting longer term spectrum requirements.

Developing innovative technology solutions through R&D activities co-ordinated with relevant EC and ESA programmes.

Combining broadcast, point-to-point and navigation systems to provide a complete range of mobile services.


THE ASMS TASK FORCE - CURRENT PRIORITIES (2)

Demonstrating the advanced mobile satcom business case.

Ensuring that standards development activity allows for the satellite dimension, and that standards are open.

Developing awareness of future mobile satellite capabilities; engaging with interested players
