Amphinicy Technologies, a provider of innovative software solutions for the satellite and space industries, reached a major milestone last year as it celebrated 20 years in the business. As it enters its 21st year of service to the industry in 2020, it continues to organically grow as a company with a renewed focus on providing engineering expertise and support in delivering first-class software to the satellite industry. Amphinicy has successfully delivered over 100 projects to international space and humanitarian agencies, leading satellite operators and global satellite service providers, teleports and space mission operation centers, and satellite equipment manufacturers.
“What always stood, and remains, a center pillar of our business is to continuously expand our expertise and ride the crest of technology wave in order to deliver modern, longstanding software solutions that power the satellite industry. Our engineering teams continue to deliver added value to our partners in the form of operation-critical solutions, for example VOIP, mobility management, beam roaming, satellite ranging and in-orbit testing software, various types of simulators, government security communication, antenna installation and terminal certification mobile tools, M&C/MOC/NOC solutions, just to name a few,” said Toni Jelavic, CEO of Amphincy.
Key Products
“This year we will shift more focus on our innovations and products: Blink, Monica and SatScout, while continuing with the same highest level of excellence of our engineering services. In parallel, we will strive to partner in consortiums of ESA /EU flagship projects – especially in the domain of secure communication. So naturally, we’re expanding both offices in Zagreb and Luxembourg with new talents,” Jelavic added.
“One of our biggest strengths is in the fact that we are engineers to the core, in love with space and our work. I believe the shorter term would be ‘passionate nerds.’ We are focused on the satellite industry and we don’t stop until we find the solution up to the highest standards. More importantly, we form partner relationship with our clients, helping them from start to finish in achieving most challenging and audacious goals.” said Frane Milos, CEO of Amphinicy’s Luxembourg office.
Innovative Solutions
“One of the innovations we’ve been working on more extensively in the last year is a high-data-rate wideband modem done in software (Blink) – a first of its kind and a project that was recognized by EU’s largest innovation funding program where it got its support among top 5% of innovative projects! We are very excited and happy with the project’s progress and expect to break some great news very soon,” said Jelavic.
The other major innovation challenge that Amphinicy tackled is an integrated data acquisition and storage system specially designed for very large, distributed satellite networks (in terms of hundreds of thousands of terminals), that they call Monica+. The system can safely collect and store millions of KPIs in second while being completely and automatically scalable as the network and number of terminals grow. Current state-of-art cannot handle such load without very large efforts and costs. With this elegant design, Monica enables large savings in hardware and software infrastructure, up to 60% in comparison to current solutions. This innovation naturally expands Monica to handle even the largest and most complex terminal networks.
To illustrate Amphinicy’s commitment to providing innovative solutions for its clients, the company recently delivered to one of its partners a VOIP solution over satellite network that includes operators and customer portal for accessing VOIP services, support for special-rate calls (e.g. for employees), complete billing, and system monitoring and control of network devices. The partner was very happy with the team support, speed and the quality of the delivery, supporting their fast time to market constraints.
Amphinicy’s Luxembourg office is also involved within two international consortiums where they are developing key Governmental Secure Communication subsystems - Mission Operations Center and Quantum-Key Distribution subsystem.
Another example is Amphinicy’s ultra-fast Front End Processor of Earth Observation (EO) satellite payload (part of its Blink product) which supports both real-time, AIV and offline operations. A swiss-knife type of tool that allows the user to cut to the root issue in a simple and quick manner. The response from one of the users speaks for itself:
“… Starting Blink gave us the opportunity to do things our way... The reports really look great… I would say the graphic reporting just rocks! The way the list of generated files is implemented is simply brilliant… Congratulations! :-)”
