            Abstract : 
This paper aims at providing the current design status of the ANTARES operational system, presenting an overview of the end-to-end system architecture. It also intends to describe the verification approach of a new Communication Standard, for ATM Satellite-based data link through the use of a dedicated test bed, providing an overview of the test campaign results.
