  • Abstract
    The launch in early 2009 of the first satellite with an S-band payload serving Europe will open the way to a new set of mobile services. This paper contains updated information on this new exciting project, and in particular on the future mobile applications that will benefit from this innovative satellite. A survey of the associated technologies and their likely availability is also performed, as well as an analysis of the regulatory issues and the business perspectives towards this new market.
