EB EXPANDS RADIO CHANNEL EMULATION CAPABILITY TO AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE
APPLICATIONS ON THE EB PROPSIM F8 EMULATOR PLATFORM
The new feature of EB Propsim F8 enables real-world wireless testing in airborne
and aerospace environments without ever leaving the ground
Oulu, Finland - EB, a developer of cutting edge embedded technology solutions
for automotive and wireless industries, today announced the availability of EB
Propsim F8 Aerospace and Satellite channel emulation Option (ASO) for the
aerospace and defense markets. This new option enables realistic, reliable and
repeatable end-to-end testing of airborne and aerospace wireless communication
links in laboratory conditions.
With EB Propsim F8, the developers of aerospace and defense communication
applications can define and emulate the required wireless environment. The radio
channel environment can be created once and re-played in the laboratory in order
to improve performance and functionality of the live wireless network or
communication link. This reduces the need to go out and perform expensive and
time-consuming field testing every time the settings in the network need to be
changed.
"The increased market demand in the field of aerospace and defense communication
encouraged us to develop the aerospace and satellite option for our EB Propsim
F8 platform as well. The generic channel modeling interface allows our customers
to utilize their existing software simulation models in a hardware laboratory
testing environment", said Jari Heinänen, director business development at EB
Wireless Communication Tools. "Being able to test the communication link before
actual product launch is extremely critical in satellite communication in
particular, since once the satellite is launched one cannot fix the possible
communication problems anymore".
The first version of the ASO modeling tool was developed in cooperation with
NASA for the EB Propsim C8 product model. It allows scientists at NASA to test
multiple wireless high-speed data communication links between a spacecraft and a
ground station and satellites. NASA has been utilizing EB's ASO for recreating
environments in the laboratory to test the performance of communications systems
during the critical stages of launch, flight, space station docking procedures
and landing of a spacecraft. This way the functionality of critical
communication systems prior to the launch can be ensured.
In 2008 Aircell LLC, the world's leading provider of airborne communications
revolutionized the commercial airline passenger flight experience by delivering
a robust Internet experience at 35,000 feet. Bringing mobile broadband into an
aircraft is extremely difficult due to the high speed of the aircraft and much
longer dynamic link distances than in a terrestrial environment. By using the
ASO and EB Propsim C8, the predecessor of EB Propsim F8, Aircell has been able
to ensure an always-on connection in-flight for airline passengers similar to
the quality users expect on the ground. For the Success Story, see Wireless in
the Sky: EB Helps Aircell Take Flight.
EB's Propsim products offer the best signal integrity in channel emulation
market. Full repeatability due to file-based emulation of test scenarios
guarantees realistic radio channel emulation for wireless communications
applications such as aerospace, defense, mobile broadband communication,
military, telemetry and satellite communication. For more information on the EB
