The theme of the Colloquium is Satellite Services for Global Mobility.

The Colloquium is organized by the Colloquium Co-Chairs: Xavier Lobao and Alberto Ginesi, ESA/ESTEC, The Netherlands.
It is held just prior to the Joint Conference on Monday, October 14, 2013 and requires separate registration.

Colloquium Synopsis

Satellite  systems  are  inherently  effective  means  to  deliver ubiquitous  services.  A  large  variety of services and applications can be delivered by  satellites  from  UHF  to  Ka  frequencies  with a global mobility as central  paradigm.  Mobile  broadband  and  narrowband  interactive  and  broadcasting  services  to  consumers and professional platforms are ever evolving in terms  of  coverage,  performance and cost-effectiveness, thus representing a valid  complementary service with respect to terrestrial networks.
The progressively  move towards the integration between MSS and FSS is also taking place. Emerging services covering safety, security and localization show a promising  growth.
Such  services  include for examples satellite communication link to  UAVs,   Air   Traffic  Management,  ADS-B,  AIS  as  well  possible  new  VHF  communication channels to ships.

The Colloquium targets both current and future systems and technologies with  emphasis  on  user/market  perspectives. In  this  respect,  views on growth  opportunities,  the  competitive  environment  and  the impact on current and  upcoming service and technology innovations will be addressed.
