TECHNOLOGY

The technology started being developed in 2016 under an European Commission funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), following other sources of funding such as the UK Department For Transport (DFT) and the ongoing High Growth Spinout Program (HGSP) funded by Scottish Enterprise (SE).

In 2019, the proof-of-concept antenna was validated to TRL 3.

In 2020, the team aims to develop the Flat Panel Antenna (FPA) to TRL 5, conducting end user-led field trials with Network Rail, supported by our specialist SME partner, with the system deployed in realistic environments representative of likely end-use.
