What started as an effort to build a marine linux OS turned out into much more interesting. Hopefully both forks will be merged eventually into one, but for now it is a distinct OS image. It is based on the LysMarine OS, but differs from it in a number of included applications, and the UI features. We are not beholden to a single approach and believe that the best way to meet customer needs is a multidimensional approach that includes GEO, LEO and terrestrial 5G in a dynamic mesh that brings capacity to where it is needed in the most efficient way possible.This is the fork of the original LysMarine by Frederic Guilbault. He added: “Our vision for Orchestra is a network that uses the right technology for the right purpose. Development of the terrestrial network is proceeding well and we are now moving forward with live tests of Orchestra’s LEO layer.” Suri said yesterday: “Customers have expressed great excitement about Inmarsat’s Orchestra network and we are making fast progress to bring that network to reality. It is a quick, agile and highly economic approach that enables us to meet our ambitious targets for rolling out key components for Inmarsat Orchestra.” In a carefully worded statement it said: “As the LEO satellite features a reprogrammable payload, additional concepts will be tested over the coming months.”īut Ibnyahya said: “Using software defined radio payloads in LEO, we are able to test, refine, retest and validate as many concepts as we need. Inmarsat said that the “details of the in-orbit testing remain confidential”. Now a company spokesperson said that “the LEO satellite is testing new concepts and system configurations for Orchestra’s proposed LEO constellation, which will seamlessly integrate with geosynchronous orbit (GEO) and highly elliptical orbit (HEO) satellites, and a terrestrial 5G network, to deliver a uniquely powerful global communications solution for mobility and government customers”. It will combine terrestrial services with low Earth orbit (LEO) and geosynchronous (GEO) satellites.ĬEO Rajeev Suri said in July that the company’s LEO constellation will be “in the range of 150-175 satellites”. Inmarsat said at the time it plans to spend around US$100 million over the next five years on a dynamic mesh network, which it is calling Orchestra. Inmarsat, which is planning a merger with US company Viasat, announced Orchestra in July 2021, saying it will be a combined terrestrial and in-orbit 5G network aimed at high-density users and the maritime market. Yasrine Ibnyahya (pictured), Inmarsat’s senior director of advanced concepts and technologies, said: “Our demonstration LEO satellite payload is designed to create new technologies and services that will transform the use of satellite communications by our mobility and government customers worldwide.” The company is coy about giving details, but says this was the successful demonstration of a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite payload.
