This project (‘SSMS’) encompasses the design, procurement, deployment, integration, operation, and effective utilization of a state-of-the art, (ground) Satellite Spectrum Monitoring System in Greece. SSMS enables EETT to react effectively, timely as well as being proactive in Satellite Spectrum Monitoring in order to support commercial, private and public entities/stakeholders who receive or depend upon satellite services.
Fully operational, SSMS will enable EETT to effectively and timely exercise its statutory responsibilities pertaining to monitoring and ensuring the unobstructed use, of the spectrum utilized in satellite communications, the granting of rights of use for corresponding frequencies and the ensuing management activities regarding the National Radio-Communications Registry; thus it facilitates, assists and promotes national efforts expended towards encouraging entrepreneurship and the transition to a digital economy.
SSMS is expected to assist and reinforce domestic investment activity in Next Generation Networks (NGN). Moreover, it will provide an innovative platform capable of incubating (mutually beneficial) cooperation between EETT and institutions/entities involved in basic and/or applied research, of promoting cooperation with European and International organizations and associations, and strengthening and promoting the international visibility of Greece in the satellite services sector.
The initial budget of the operation amounts to 3,721,243.86 euros. The initial phase of the Action was implemented under the Operational Programme “Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation” of the NSRF 2014-2020 and was co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and national resources. The subsequent implementation phases were transferred and included in the Operational Programme “Digital Transformation 2021-2027” and are co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and national resources.
