i-VDE-ST1
VEGA VDES AIS Satellite Payload
The VEGA VDES AIS Payload, is a Software Define Radio (SDR) digitizing the entire Marine VHF Band to receive all conventional AIS and VDES messages. It supports concurrent reception on 6x channels including 2x AIS (either AIS1, AIS2, Long Range AIS1-2 or additional AIS Secure Channel for Warship AIS applications), 2x ASM1-2 and 1x VDE-SAT Channels.
The system, implemented on an advanced FPGA system-on-chip and is able to interface with different OBCs via industry standard HW Interfaces and a well-defined System SW Architecture. The system supports remote upgradability to ensure future SW versions can be deployed.
