SAMA

SAMASATELLITE ACCESSMANAGER

SPACE

A software suite for transponder

capacity and design of satellite-based

networks and links

Functionalities

• Access plan consistency analysis:

- Number of chains per terminal

- EIRP per terminal

- EIRP per transponder

- Intermodulation product analysis

- Frequency/bandwidth allocation overlapping

- Carrier re-allocation

• Report generation (satellite accessauthorisation)

• Events management

• External interfaces:

- Satellite control center

- User segment

- CARMO carriers monitoring system (export/import active access plan)

• Data bases management andsynchronisation

• Verification of the theoretical plan createdby SAMA and the real measurementsperformed in a CARMO monitoringworkstation

• Multi-mission: it can cope with differentsatellites no matter their architectures

• Flexible implementation of InternationalCoordination Agreements. Dynamicoperational constrains management inboth Tx and Rx

• Service oriented booking (accessprioritisation and request reception)

• Creation of terminal deployment andaccess plan

• Visualisation tool

• Calculus of optimal coordinates forsteerable beams

• Link budget analysis (EIRP assignmentswill take into account the actual occupancyand load of the transponder, and ITU rainmodels)

Overview

Satellite Access Manager (SAMA) is asoftware suite developed by Indra forplanning and optimizing transpondercapacity and design of satellite-basednetworks and links. It is grounded on Indramore than 20 years of experience providingautomated IOT, payload monitoring anddesign of satellite control centers.

SAMA allows planning off-line the differentusers and service accesses to the satellitetransponders (different type of terminals,worldwide), taking all the possible variablesinto account (EIRP, rain degraded conditions,international agreements, satellite profile…).

SAMA users can rapidly develop carrier plansto manage and maximize use of transpondercapacity, at the same time that meets targetrequirements of performance and availability.These plans can be automatically convertedto a new measurement baseline, which issent to the monitoring CARMO solution. Onthe other hand, SAMA also receives CARMOreal-time status to verify the systemmeasurements against theoretical plan.

Highlights

• Satellite database :

- Beams

- Transponders

- Payload configurations

- Connectivity

• Ground stations definition

• Visualization tool (drag and dropcapabilities)

• Link budgets:

- Graphical view

- Huge networks management

- Stations deployments

- Beams visualization

- ITU-R P models

- QoS checking

- ITU climatic zones auto-selection

- Powerful reports in pdf format

- Export to Excel (optional)

- International Coordination Agreement

- IM & Crosspolar considerations

• Intermodulation products graphical view

• Carriers allocation algorithms (automatic,booking…)

• Transponder statistics: IBO/OBO,bandwidth

Visualization tool

Additionally, this tool provides a very easy-to-use (point-and-click) built-in functionalityin order to obtain the optimum steerablebeam pointing for a given terminaldeployment plan.

SAMA allows visualising the stationsdeployment within a plan. Stations arerepresented by different icons according totheir type. Transponder coverage are shownor hidden upon operator criteria.

Access plan reports

SAMA generates reports for a plannedaccess or for the whole plan. It also producesthe satellite access authorisation in acomfortable and easy to read way.

Intermodulation analysis

Optional calculation directives such as 3rd

or 5th order calculation and frequencywindows among others. Graphic and tabularreports. Analysis is done following severalcriteria for all used transponder such as:

• Number of carriers

• Satellite EIRP consumption

• Satellite bandwidth allocation

Access definition

An internal verification and cross-checkingis performed at both terminal and satelliteresources to validate the access plan.

Once a plan has been loaded and stationshave been selected according to adeployment plan the operator can proceedto create, modify or delete satellite accesses.

An access will be uniquely identified by thetwo involved terminals and sequentialnumbers. Each access will have assigned asatellite access authorisation number,priority, start date and stop date.
