Sasken Technologies Limited Introduces LTE Over Mobile Satellite Equipment
An LTE-technology-based satellite product - the Mobile Satellite Equipment (MSE) - has been introduced by Sasken Technologies Limited. The MSE enables mission-critical communications during natural disasters such as tsunamis, as well as normal operations. It provides a wide spectrum of services, including emergency calls, voice, fax, messaging, data, and additional functionalities.
"This pioneering technology ensures uninterrupted and reliable connectivity even in remote or challenging terrain.”

Sasken has designed, developed, and deployed the MSE hardware and software. The introduction of LTE over mobile satellite equipment brings standard 3GPP services over the satellite infrastructure, transforming the legacy satellite network infrastructure into a standard and interoperable telecom network.
"Sasken continues to break barriers and redefine the boundaries of technological innovation," said Rajiv C. Mody, Chairman & Managing Director, Sasken Technologies. "I am proud to lead a team that has architected the product from concept and design to commercialization of this complex satellite system for high-speed critical communication. The team realized the design to make this product sustainable for long-term use in the field which will impact the lives of millions by enabling public-safety satellite communication. Our commitment to engineering excellence, customer satisfaction, and pushing the limits of what is possible drives our success."
"This pioneering technology ensures uninterrupted and reliable connectivity even in remote or challenging terrain, and more importantly when other modes of communication fail during natural disasters and calamities. Yet again, Sasken, has lived up to its commitment of helping customers launch complex and technically advanced products, which makes the world a better and safer place to live," said Abhijit Kabra, CEO, Sasken Technologies.
The MSE system features the integration of a Tracking Antenna unit. With a modernized, resource-efficient, and extensible platform, the MSE provides long-term support for telecommunication services. This cost-effectiveness, combined with increased user capacity, presents satellite telecom operators with new opportunities for market growth.
