The Next Generation Service Platform (NGSP) is a truly End-to-end Independent Open Connectivity Solution, built on Open Source.
It comes with an Onboard solution that is directly integrated on aviation servers, a Content Distribution Network (CDN), a set of Operations Tools and a complete Data Management suite.
The onboard NGSP manages traffic at the source, in a standalone matter, thanks to its novel enhanced edge routing capability and built-in DPI. As all traffic management is done onboard, there is no longer the requirement (and cost) of traffic management infrastructure on the ground, while still providing full remote control of the system.
NGSP is Truly Agnostic, it allows you to work with your suppliers of choice for:
Network:
Recognizing that in today’s world most aircraft already have some form of connectivity, NGSP has been designed to be compatible with all network access methods Ku, Ka, GEO, LEO and Air-to-Ground, allowing you to replace a cabin solution without having to change the satcom or a satcom without having to change the cabin solution. NGSP can even support multiple modems on the same aircraft and provide intelligent routing and switching.
ISP:
APIs are provided so that the Authentication, Access, and Accounting functions performed by an ISP can be integrated with an ISP supplier of choice.
Content and UI:
NGSP is built to support hosting in the form of Portal server content, Docker Containers and Virtual Machines (VM).
APIs are provided for custom portals / applications integration onboard allowing any provider to integrate and manage their solution.
Data As A Service:
The NGSP provides ready-to-use Operation Tools and KPI dashboards. At the same time data from the NGSP can also easily be collected into third-party Operations Tools and Business Intelligence systems to allow effective troubleshooting and in-depth data analysis.
