With a capacity estimated at 70 Gbps, KA-SAT is expected to be (at launch) the highest capacity satellite in the world. KA-SAT is a European counterpart to ViaSat-1, a Ka-band satellite designed to deliver 100 Gbps of broadband capacity to the North American market,
Monics is a state of the art system that automatically monitors Skylogic's carrier channels using SAT Corporation's Digital Signal Processing technology. The system's unique technology provides carrier signal monitoring and interference detection in a fraction of the time of a classic spectrum analyzer. Monics' algorithms automatically detect, characterize, and display interfering signals, and allow results to be viewed immediately, or any later time. The Monics system will be devoted to Quality of Service monitoring of Skylogic's carriers while detecting interference and/or unauthorized users of the system payloads.
