Based on user needs and industry skills, the evolution of customized solutions and the establishment of innovative services is accomplished through project activities. Focusing on various thematic areas, relevant information on the project activities is provided below.
SHA
Status date: 24 June 2020
“Sentinels for Habitats” integrates Sentinel-2 data within the ongoing innovation project Natura.ai. Natura.ai focuses on mapping and classifying nature areas based on remote sensing data and deep learning. The addition of Sentinel satellite data has greatly improved the algorithm behind Natura.ai. These benefits are due to more detailed maps that can cover large areas with higher frequency and spectral resolution.
WAMMO (AMMO CCN#1)
Status date: 24 June 2020
The WAMMO project, a continuation of Ascend XYZ’s AMMO project, aims to expand the service with ground radar data. Airports will be able to visualize bird activity and identify the associated areas of interest. Radar data and correlated EO data from multiple airports will be used to produce statistical models for airports not equipped with a radar and with similar habitats.
IBISA
Status date: 24 June 2020
IBISA enables agriculture index-based insurance for agricultural entrepreneurs, everywhere and in an easy manner, by leveraging Earth Observation data and blockchain technology.
A-QKD-S
Status date: 24 June 2020
This project defines an ‘Augmented Quantum Key Distribution (AQKD)’ Satellite Service that uses nanosatellites to deliver cryptographic keys for fractions of the cost of traditional satellite constellations. This service, rather than compete with large service providers, aims to augment these larger networks and could be used for on a wide range of end applications with multiple market verticals.
SoURCE
Status date: 19 June 2020
SoURCE - the concept of the service is to fulfill growing demand in the real estate market for having information concerning utility infrastructures which are provided in real time, updated and with high accuracy, via a user-friendly mobile application. The service combines different technologies (EGNSS, Earth Observation, Augmented Reality, Computer Vision) to enable simplification of gathering and proper interpretation of dispersed information about utilities in real time at current user location.
PaaS
Status date: 15 June 2020
The SatADSL value proposition is to offer to Teleports a unique Platform As A Service (PaaS) service that they can use for improving service offering to their own customers while at the same time monetizing their unused satellite capacity with a new customer, SatADSL, and its network of ISPs and Teleport’s partners.
oneTcall
Status date: 15 June 2020
No GSM coverage? You are on a plane or cruising ship and you need to receive an important call or to make an important call? No problem: with OneTcall you can continue to use your mobile phone and your telephone number without changing your user experience and without any limitation.Thanks to Satellite you can have IP coverage everywhere in the World and also in Mobility. With OneTCall + IP via Satellite you can have also your Mobile Phone working and keep using your telephone number.Easy for the customer. No additional infrastructure for the Operator.OneTCall is perfect to provide seamless voice coverage also on board of Airplanes and Cruising ships.OneTcall is a patented service.
GEWS
Status date: 15 June 2020
Greenhouse owners are in a very competitive market, in which unexpected costs due to damage and decay of the greenhouse assets can cause severe problems. This demonstration project aims at demonstrating how a notification service using space data can help greenhouse owners to prevent or mitigate non-insurable risks threatening their business, and thereby save costs.
GSOT
Status date: 09 June 2020
The main goal of this project is to create an augmented reality system for the 50ha Grunwald battlefield site in Poland. Visitors will be able to download the application to their smartphones and learn more about the history of the battle while visualising the deployment of all forces on site.
Fusion Platform®
Status date: 09 June 2020
The Fusion Platform® by Digital Content Analysis Technology Ltd, D-CAT, delivers a range of flexible, affordable APIs and software services to: remotely detect and classify weeds; detect frost damage; provide remote predictions of yield months prior to harvest; estimate pasture biomass on demand. The price/performance service selections arise from the algorithm/AI marketplace, where developers monetise and market their offerings globally.
