Introduction to HydRON HydRON High thRoughput Optical Netw ork Vision Develop the world first (all) Optical Transport Network at Terabit Capacity in space. Extend terrestrial Fiber Networks seam lessly by “Fibre in the Sky”. MI SSI ON STATEMENT: Develop and validate “Fibre in the Sky” technology integrated into terrestrial netw orks at Terabit capacity by 2 0 2 5 -2 0 2 6 tim efram e.

HydRON Project Objectives Ø To define the full E2E architecture of the visionary HydRON Mission (HydRON-M) that m eets the needs of its identified potential users on the m edium / long-term . Ø To define and im plem ent a HydRON Dem onstration System (HydRON-DS) that allows the dem onstration and validation of the essential technologies by European and Canadian industries by 2025-2026. ü Terabit Space-Ground links and Space-Space links ü High speed optical / electrical switching ü Collection and distribution of end user data ü Terabit Optical Transport Network in Space ü Seamless integration into terrestrial networks ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use 26Jun / 1Jul 2020 Slide 5
Seamless Integration into Terrestrial Networks Ø In todays terrestrial Fibre Networks Satellites are ü just bridging the “last mile”, when no fibre is available ü not an integral part of the network architecture ü difficult to patch in on-demand ü not configurable by the network ü have no routing capabilities Ø In todays space architectures, no network capabilities really exist. Interconnection of different layers (GEO,LEO, HAPS, Terrestrial) are seen as a future concept. Satellites are not YET an integral part of terrestrial netw ork architecture Only Optical Com m unications w ill provide the required high data volum e and high volum e sw itching capabilities! 3 D-Netw ork Concept = Fibre everyw here!
