“The need for solutions providing safe instrumentation, control and automation in power generation and transmission is growing rapidly.”
Thomas Maul, CEO
As the protection of critical infrastructures and industrial plants is a highly sensitive issue, EuroSkyPark provides satellite communication solutions that enable continuous blackout-proof connections on a global scale.
Based on geostationary satellites (GEO), Low Earth Orbit satellites (LEO) and a new generation of our reliable SatConnect devices, we provide access to a wide range of applications. We enable the transmission of SCADA data as well as the parallel transmission of voice and video data plus entertainment. Hence, we guarantee the remote control and management of all types of systems at any location. This also includes harsh environments, such as offshore parks in the North Sea or solar parks in desert regions.
Our systems are extremely powerful – this has also been proven many times: We are always able to control even very large power generation plants or high voltage substations. At the same time, we go into detail and can continuously monitor the functionality of each individual part of the system.
Our satellite communication solutions consist of our SatConnect devices, broadband satellite connections on a GEO and LEO basis and receiving stations, for example in our own Network Operation Center (NOC) or one of our customers’ control centers. We also supplement our satellite connections with 5G mobile communications to create hybrid systems.
An accident becomes a disaster if the redundant systems fail. If terrestrial connections or submarine cables no longer work, we take over the communication-side operation of on- and offshore power plants and transformer stations of all sizes – within minutes. The advantage: the connection via satellite is still available even if, for example, the mobile phone networks are overloaded in the event of large-scale disruptions. With our transmission technology, you achieve the security that is essential for critical infrastructures in particular.
GEO satellites adapt to the earth’s rotation on their path and always remain in orbit above the same point on the earth. For example, they transmit weather data, TV and data that is subject to very high security requirements, such as our customers’ SCADA data. High-throughput satellites (HTS), especially for data transmission, have significantly increased the speed and spectrum.
Worldwide coverage.
MEO was originally used for navigation. Today, HTS-MEO constellations provide data connections with low latency and high bandwidth. MEO satellites offer fibre-optic-like performance. We use them to bring high-bandwidth internet to remote areas, such as offshore platforms.
The coverage ends at 50 degrees north (approx. Hamburg) and 50 degrees south (approx. Cape Town).
LEO is densely populated with thousands of satellites used for science, imaging and low-bandwidth telecommunications. The next generation of HTS-LEO satellites will provide broadband internet for mass consumers and businesses.
LEO satellites offer maximum availability with seamless coverage and excellent application possibilities for industry and critical infrastructures. The connection speeds of up to 195 Mbit downlink and 32 Mbit upload are very high and are complemented by low latency times of < 100 ms. This enables both speed-intensive and sensitive applications in real-time operation. Advanced LEO is 100% integrated into the SatConnect family.
The next-generation GEO satellites use KA-band spot beams for higher bandwidths of up to 200 Mbit downlink and 10 Mbit upload. The tried-and-tested technology scores points for its fast implementation and high continuity with constant satellite positions and long runtimes. The one-off installation with low maintenance requirements combines low investment costs with maximum stability and security.
Whether transmission networks for high voltage or distribution networks for medium voltage – data transmission is always required to achieve a stable network frequency. We support major European grid operators in providing their vital services in the TSO and DSO area blackout-proof. This we achieve using pure satellite solutions as well as hybrid satellite solutions – either as a primary path or as a redundancy of fixed networks.
Our SatConnect devices meet all security and stability requirements for critical infrastructure environments now and in the future. They not only provide reliable data series, but also ensure a stable, broadband communication environment with low latency, even under the most adverse conditions.
Globally available connections via GEO and LEO satellite networks enable the use of C-, KU-, KA- and L-band. The integrated SL – IMB (Intelligent Management Board) with extended watchdog functions ensures secure connection monitoring and optimized network performance.
Guaranteed durability and reliability, as well as the future-oriented technical design, make the devices a real milestone in connection technology. They support all common protocols for SCADA, both for serial and IP-based SCADA systems (IEC 101/104), as well as for IP broadband, SIP and VoIP.
Configuration is performed – on-site or remotely – by EuroSkyPark or by qualified personnel authorized by EuroSkyPark.
Please note that with the new generation of devices, all older SatConnect models have reached “End of Life“ status.
Offshore wind farms are large power plants that have to operate in very harsh environments. This applies to the wind turbines, the offshore substations and all the technologies they require. We have positioned ourselves to work in this challenging environment. Our routers and radomes are specifically designed for marine conditions and are exceptionally robust. Our technical teams are specially trained for offshore operations and are annually re-certified for their tasks.
We support projects from the planning stage through to regular operation. Our solutions are available worldwide and can be used regardless of location and with low initial investment. State-of-the-art LEO and GEO satellite connections offer you the highest bandwidths and low latency times and can also be adapted as the project progresses.
Our Network Operation Center monitors the satellite connections 24/7, every day of the year.
In addition, the hardware and software components used are checked at regular intervals to offer you maximum security and control.
