Eviden Rolls Out Satellite Surveillance System for Greek EETT
Eviden has delivered its SkyMon solution to the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT) following an international tender. This advanced satellite communications spectrum monitoring system will form the backbone of the EOS station, dedicated to overseeing the frequencies used in satellite communications in Greece.
Selection and Deployment of the Frequency Spectrum Monitoring System
Eviden was selected by the EETT, the Greek National Regulatory Authority responsible for regulating, supervising, and controlling electronic communications and postal services, to deploy a frequency spectrum monitoring system (SEFD). The contract award followed an open international tender, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and national resources. Eviden's SkyMon solution constitutes the technical core of the project, supported by its partner Edil Hellas SA for the setup of the monitoring station.
Features and Capabilities of the EOS Station
The EOS station is equipped with reflector-type antennas, a radiofrequency system linking the antennas to advanced measurement equipment, and a transmitter geolocation system. It includes hardware and software for recording, processing, storing, and visualizing data, a monitoring and control platform, as well as an independent power supply. The SkyMon solution offers fully automated monitoring suited to all types of geostationary satellites and enables operators continuous supervision of satellite-ground station links from a centralized hub.
Role and Responsibilities of the EETT
As an independent Greek administrative authority, the EETT is responsible for issues related to the satellite spectrum used by businesses and research bodies. It is tasked with fostering innovation in the field of broadband satellite network-based electronic communications.
