Satcoms In Support of Transport on European Roads
The SISTER Integrated Project started in November 2006 with JAST as one of the main partners for development of integrated satcom and navigation front-ends.

The SISTER Project (www.sister-project.org) will promote the integration of satellite and terrestrial communications with GALILEO to enable mass market take-up of road transport applications.

The scale of the road transport market combined with innovations to road transport problems – requiring the integration of location based services with communications – makes this market potentially extremely attractive.

Objectives of the SISTER Project

• Establish how satellite communications can be used as part of the operational implementation of integrated terrestrial/satellite (ITS) applications
• Investigate how satellite affects the operation of current applications (no new applications)
• Build on and complement the large volume of work already performed in this field through ESA, EU and GJU projects
