TTP Introduces Gotonomi, Compatible with Viasat’s Velaris Network

Our Bureau - : Aug 24, 2023 - : 1:45 am

Technology developer TTP has announced the launch of Gotonomi at the upcoming Commercial UAV Expo in Las Vegas.

With the aim of seeding the market, Gotonomi will offer low size, weight and power satellite terminals for uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) as flight trial development kits to partners. The terminals will be compatible with Viasat’s Velaris global connectivity solution, and have been developed as part of the Iris air traffic modernisation programme, led by the European Space Agency (ESA) and powered by Viasat’s ELERA satellite network.

Velaris provides secure communications for commercial UAVs to fly Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) and seamlessly integrate with aircraft in commercial airspace. It allows operators to send their UAVs on long-distance flights and access various applications, such as real-time monitoring, to ensure safe integration with air traffic.

Once connected to the Velaris service, Gotonomi’s terminals will offer an always-available 200kbps secure datalink between vehicles, remote operators and UAV Traffic Management (UTM) systems. Users can choose between three initial variants: Velaris 200 – satcom only, fully integrated antenna, Velaris Module – satcom only core module, and Velaris Multi-link Module – satcom core module and LTE hybrid terminal with edge compute.

“We want Gotonomi to play a lead role in growing the ecosystem of resilient universal communications for autonomous vehicle safety, offering cutting edge products made possible by TTP know-how,” said Tristan Barkley, Head of Satellite and Space at TTP.

“It’s exciting to see TTP launch Gotonomi to service the huge potential that this market has to offer,” said Anthony Spouncer, Viasat’s Senior Director of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). “Backed by the engineering expertise of TTP, and using our highly resilient Velaris service, Gotonomi customers will have a unique combination of long-range communications capability onboard their UAVs.”
