Entourage - Spectrum Simulator

In 2023, SES, in partnership with Arpsoft as a subcontractor, initiated the Entourage - Spectrum Simulator project, funded by the European Space Agency.

Historically, coordinating satellite frequencies in GEO belts was simple. Today's multi-orbit constellations and mobile users demand more active and complex spectrum coordination. Existing methods may lead to inconsistencies, hindering comparison across entities. A standardized spectrum tool is crucial to harmonize NGSO, GEO, and ground systems like 5G, minimizing interference.

The primary goal of this endeavor is to develop a frequency agnostic cloud based analysis tool, capable of computing global interference statistics among non-GSO systems, GSO networks, and all possible combinations thereof. The collaboration involves joint efforts in the development, validation, and eventual commercialization of the product.
