Instead of handling these units as stand alone units, MEOSTM Control integrates them into one overall system. This allows for efficient operations with minimal personnel, by providing a common user interface. This provides operations of all equipment as one system, implying that ACUs, demodulators, switch matrices, etc. are scheduled in one operation to handle the mission in question.In addition, MEOSTM Control provides a common API for external M&C clients. StatisticsDuring operation, MEOSTM Control collects all available statistics from the connected equipment, and stores it in a database. These statistics are provided in real-time through the MEOSTM Control ‘s external interface, through the embedded GUI, and summarized as post-pass quality reports. By storing all statistics, and providing necessary tools, MEOSTM Control allows for both historical analysis and diagnostics.When combined with MEOSTM Connect, the Ground Station components become an integrated part of an overall Ground Station network.KONGSBERG SPACETEC AS Prestvannveien 38 P.O.B. 6244 NO-9292 Tromsø NORWAYPhone: +47 77 66 08 00 Fax: +47 77 65 58 59 Email: marketing@spacetec.no www.spacetec.no© Kongsberg Spacetec AS - MEOS-PA-KSPT-605-0816, Issue/revision 2/0, December 2012Note: MEOS is a registered trademark of Kongsberg Spacetec AS.Specificatons are subject to change without notice.

Integrating your cost efficient ground station network The challengeA network of satellite ground stations typically consists of many sites. Each site may have one or more antennas and associated switching matrices and receivers. The stations may have individual technical solutions that may also evolve during the operational life. Operations are typically under a combination of local and centralized control. Equipment diagnostic tools are available primarily at the station level. Generating and distributing status reports and statistics to support operational decisions is typically a manual process.Operational schedules are distributed from the central site to the stations. In some cases manual work is required to run the stations according to these schedules. Manual work is also required at the central site to assemble reports, make statistics available and present this during operations briefings.Related ProductsMEOSTM Control Application NoteDelivery• MEOSTM Capture HRD - High Rate Demodulator• MEOSTM Capture HRFEP - High Rate Front End Processor• MEOSTM Capture HRTG - High Rate Test Generator• MEOSTM Capture HRR - High Rate Recorder• MEOSTM Connect – Ground Station Networking / Systems-of-systems• MEOSTM Antenna – 3.0 - 4.3 m L/X- band antennaMEOSTM Control is normally configured, tested and pre-qualified at Kongsberg Spacetec AS premises. Alternative configurations may be available upon request.The solutionMEOSTM Control is designed for seamless integration into ground station equipment. Its GUIs and remote monitoring and control capability provide detailed system visibility and control from any location in the network, with minimal bandwidth requirements. Network capacity utilization is optimized by automatic and adaptive bandwidth allocation and retransmission.System status and data quality statistics are automatically generated and disseminated for central archiving and report compilation. BenefitsMEOSTM Capture, MEOSTM Control and MEOSTM Connect can be combined into a ground station network requiring an absolute minimum of manual operations. This reduces operational cost and delays.MEOSTM Control as part of integrated ground station network
