Problem
Operating Ka-band and Q/V-band satellite networks for high-throughput broadband services is challenging due to significant atmospheric impairments, primarily from rain, which can lead to service outages. Managing a large number of gateways and the switching required to deliver these services presents design and operational complexities.
Solution
Atheras Analytics offers a suite of AI-powered, SaaS software tools designed to optimize the design and operation of multi-gateway Ka-band and Q/V-band satellite networks. The software mitigates the effects of weather and maximizes network and service availability. The SGD Design Tool enables satellite operators to optimize the design of their next-generation, multi-gateway satellite networks to provide the most cost-effective design. TEMPESTAS uses AI to proactively manage simple two-station diversity gateways and more complex Smart Gateway Diversity (SGD) arrangements by predicting outages and automatically transferring traffic to alternate gateways before outages occur.
Target Audience
The primary customers are satellite operators delivering high throughput satellite (HTS) services globally.
