Emergency.lu

Public-private partnership between
Luxembourg’s Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, SES, HITEC Luxembourg and
the Luxembourg Air Ambulance
The platform addresses two vital
requirements in emergency situations:
• Rapid deployment on site to cover the
communications needs in the immediate
aftermath of a disaster
• Control and management capability
allowing quick and efficient sharing of
information about the situation on site
First deployment in 2012, South
Soudan
Latest deployment in 2013 in Tacloban,
Philippines after the destruction by
typhoon Haiyan
The typhoon Haiyan response was the first deployment of
emergency.lu to a sudden onset disaster offering free connectivity
to all the humanitarian actors.
Revolutionary technology that converts
satellite-delivered programs into
Internet Protocol (IP) standard at the
point of reception in the home
Crystal clear picture quality via wired or
wireless in-home internet distribution
system, not only on the TV screen but
also on a large range of IP enabled
devices such as smartphones, tablets,
and smart TVs
This technology offers
• Screen resolution up to 3840x2160 pxl,
four times the number of pixels of
today’s HDTV
• Sharper picture details
• Wider palette and depth of colours
SES, together with partners, was the first
to launch an Ultra HD demo channel in
the new HEVC transmission standard
SES Techcom Services, a 100%-
owned SES company, provides
operational services, technical
consultancy and high-tech
products as well as integrated
solutions to the satellite industry
around the world.

SES and SnT continue to work together on a number of topics:
Operations practices
• Payload optimizer and automated procedure conversion tool
Adaptive modem techniques for cognitive radio systems
Multicarrier digital equalization
Mobile applications / MIMO hardware demonstrator
Multiple LNB interference cancellation
Use of polarization as signaling dimension
Horizons 2020
SES’s relationship with SnT and Lux University is, and will remain, a key
part of SES’s innovation strategy. When compared with the other
universities with which SES has worked, Luxembourg is producing
outstanding work and ‘punching well above its weight’.
Thank you!
