SDR-based Inter-Satellite Link (ISL)
for flexible in-orbit connectivity
GAMALINK is a RF communications platform, optimised for in-orbit connectivity. It supports point-to-point and multi-node packet-oriented communications and offers seamless ranging, range rate and time correlation/synchronisation capability together with data exchange. It is the perfect enabler for formation flying, swarm missions or radio science applications.
