About this listen
In this episode of Allies in Innovation, host Mikkel Svold talks with Andreas Stren, lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt, and Alexander Spaniol, RF engineer at Terma. They break down how SDR shifts control from hardware to software, enables remote updates, faster adjustments to mission demands, and better risk management.
They also get into real-world SDR use cases, cybersecurity challenges, and why the tech could be a game-changer for ground stations and smaller space operators.
If you’re into the current or future space communication systems, this one’s worth a listen.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
- Key benefits of software-defined radio in space missions.
- How SDR enhances flexibility and re-configurability for satellites.
- Overcoming SDR challenges: radiation effects and cybersecurity.
- The role of virtualization in satellite communication solutions.
- Future prospects: cost-effective and accessible ground stations
