General Research Lines

What we offer:
HISPASAT has defined four strategic lines which aim to search and develop new systems and technologies which improve performance and efficiency of its satellite communication systems, as well as studying new business models and services.
• Audiovisual systems: main strategic lines in this area are high definition television such as HDTV, UHDTV and 3DTV, and hybrid television, which aims to combine the benefits of broadband and broadcast services.
• Emergency and security systems: This area exploits the flexibility, security, fast deployment and wide coverage of satellite communications systems to improve management of natural disasters and other emergencies. Integration with other networks is critical in this area.
• New generation networks and Internet of the future: Integration with other networks will be a key issue for future services. This strategic line studies the technical requirements for integrating satellite systems with next generation networks.
• Social and environmental responsibility: making basic services available to everyone, everywhere, is one of HISPASAT’s compromises with society. Satellite communications make it possible to deliver broadband services, television and Internet in equal conditions both to high developed cities and to rural areas.

We invite any company interested in developing R&D projects in these areas to contact us.
