SatNEx’s work programme is divided into three main streams of activity:

Integrating Activities bring together the Network’s researchers bring together research tools and testbeds implement a satellite-based communication and collaboration platform

Jointly Executed Research develop joint visions and research strategies perform long-term and “delta” research in networking and radio interface … supported by system studies and research trials

Spreading of Excellence provide opportunities for training disseminate information transfer knowledge support standardisation

Focused Work: Joint Activities (JAs) The WPs basically cover the broad area of the SatNEx field of

interest: satellite communications.

Within this field, the concrete research carried out in SatNEx is defined by a number of focussed activities – Joint Activities (JAs).

The Joint Activities (JAs) are the fundamental unit in the implementation of the SatNEx JPA. They are horizontal lines by nature, generally covering Integration – JER – Spreading of Exc.

A SatNEx JA is defined as a set of coherent activities, cost elements and procedures to achieve a specified objective within an associated time frame.

Joint Activities are performed by Joint Activity Teams established by a group of SatNEx partners.

JAs are the new way/methods of putting the SatNEx objectives into practice. They are the elements specifying how the work is performed
