Satellite Observing Systems

Satellite observing systems are unrivalled in expertise in all aspects of satellite remote sensing of the marine environment. Serving the public and private sector organisations by providing:

Satellite systems are now powering signals into peoples homes across the world, high powered and advanced satellite technology makes it possible for those on the ground with cheap tvs to enjoy broadcasts from space and transmitted across many continents.

As GPS technology grows in popularity, annoying aspects of the service have begun to surface. Slow time to first fix and loss of signal in urban canyons are the main complaints from early adopters. Assisted GPS ( AGPS ) solutions from Rx Networks neatly resolve both of these problems with network assisted (SUPL) and autonomous technologies implemented right on the GPS chip set on the device, required no user actions.

The impact of GPS and satellite systems on the telecommunications industry has been huge. Today, a massive proportion of global communication is facilitated by the satellite network. Mobile and system phones receive signals from the satellites orbiting the planet, enabling people in different continents to talk and do business with each other, which has led us into an age of global communication.

The advent of communication satellites and digital technology have dramatically reduced the cost of making international phone calls. Now it is possible to make international calls from mobile phones for a fraction of what it once cost to make the same call from a land line. Since 1990, international calling costs have fallen nearly 90% in the USA while the Consumer Price Index has nearly doubled.

The evolution of telecommunications has required that our laws evolve with the changes technology. As pointed out in this blog post where a company named Generational Equity was scammed by an online site operating behind the safe harbor clauses of the US Telecommunications Act of 1996, telecommunications laws can cut both ways.

Communication technology has constantly been evolving with more and more services available to businesses and individuals. One such service is the provision of 0845 numbers , 0800 numbers, 0845 numbers and 0844 numbers with each having their own advantages which an established telecoms provider will explain to you.

• Consultancy on the applications and exploitation of marine remote sensing,
• High quality marine statistics and climatology,
• Real-time sea-state monitoring from space delivered to ships at sea,
• Training programmes world-wide.

Some of the problem areas recently tackled by us including ongoing programmes, are:

• Calibration of radar altimeters on the ERS-1, ERS-2 and ENVISAT satellites,
• Statistical data on the occurrence of the highest wave at an offshore site or along a shipping route anywhere in the world,
• The prevalence of oil slicks in summer off a tourist beach in the mediterranean,
• Seasonal cycles in the vertical migration of nutrients along a coastline, and their dependence on marine weather patterns,
• A model of sea level changes around Britain's coastline over the last decade,
• The design of an easy-access coastal information system containing data derived from the satellite record,
• Accessibility of environmental information of coastal zones by NATO navies,
• Trends in global climate change revealed in the middle of the Atlantic by satellite observations repeated over a decade.

The latest venture is the design of a system of dedicated microsats that will deliver observations of storm location and intensity in 'real-time' to forecasting centres and ships at sea.

We have longer experience in the field of creating useful marine products from raw satellite data than any company in Europe, and this is reflected in the number of Training Workshops it has been asked to organise around the world.

• We are completely current with the programmes and aspirations of all the major space agencies and we are a leading promoter of 'real-time' constellations.
  
  
• No organisation, whose interest lies in the sea, can afford to remain ignorant of the increasingly relevant role of satellite surveillance to its operations.
