The field trials have helped to evaluate the DVB-SH system in a situation where the Satellite was, for the first time, contributing the to the Complementary Ground Component coverage in a significant manner, and to compare the performances of different profiles in different scenarios with the following conclusions:
Thanks to the consolidated role of the Satellite in the System, the Operator has reinforced the vision of a multi-layered architecture.
The architecture of the target system.
In order to simplify the achievement of all targets the project has been split in three Phases:
J-ORTIGIA had a total duration of 30 months, starting from April, 1st 2008. The work carried out was organized into a work package series that grouped activities on the basis of their type and also considering the time sequence of their execution.
The activities of the J-ORTIGIA project converge in the following areas of development:
