Advantages of spread spectrum include the inherent interference rejection capabilities, the efficient way for multiplexing multiple services, the higher capacity, a more efficient use of the spectrum and the lower terminal costs. Sirius Communications organizes hands-on training sessions in which all aspects of CDMA technology are explained and demonstrated. Contact Sirius Communications if you wish more information In satellite communications , CDMA is being exploited for low rate, medium rate as well as broadband type of communications. Low rate applications include a.o. CDMA is used for its capability of coping with high interference levels in these bands, and because it allows to multiplex a high amount of users with limited protocol overhead.
Different systems can share the same part of the spectrum.
Ground station development is facilitated using the CDMA DataSat Development System . In more and more cases, CDMA is being used as an overlay to existing satellite services. This is a very efficient use of spread spectrum in view of the limited spectrum being available. Besides the ongoing developments using existing GEO capacity, LEO-based satellite systems are under development to provide true broadband access to individual users, using CDMA technology. Probably the best known satellite application using CDMA technology is navigation .
