Consultancy to upgrade Iridium network's terminals

John Walko writes in the EETimes that:

Cambridge Consultants has been awarded a contract to develop the necessary RF hardware and software to increase the functionality of handsets for users of the Iridium satellite based voice and data communications network.

The design consultancy, headquartered in Cambridge, England, has assembled a multi-disciplinary engineering team with expertise in satellite communications to work on what it says is a 'multi-million dollar' program.

The focus will be on moving much of the radio functionality into the digital domain using advanced digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. This will provide Iridium with greater performance and flexibility.
