Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in digital, cloud, big data and security today announces the initial rollout of SkyMon NG1, a next-generation satellite monitoring solution. SkyMon NG enables satellite operators to efficiently manage the complexity of digital satellite communication systems, including dynamic behaviors like beam hopping and onboard processing, while providing regulators with greater visibility and control over spectrum usage. It solves key challenges around real-time monitoring, resource optimization, helping operators deliver higher performance with lower operational costs with virtualized ground station capability, allowing them to allocate their frequency resources where needed. 

As next-generation satellites evolve from static payloads to flexible, software-defined systems, monitoring must also adapt to keep pace with their dynamic, reconfigurable behavior—especially in an era of growing spectrum congestion and quality of service demands. 

Supporting the monitoring of the new dynamic behavior of VHTS (Very High Throughput) satellites with onboard processing and beam hopping, SkyMon NG is designed to give operators and regulators faster situational awareness, improved visibility into satellite activity, and early detection of anomalies. 

The growing complexity of satellite ground infrastructures spanning from on-premise to cloud, now demands cloud-ready monitoring systems. To address this challenge, SkyMon NG cloud-ready architecture ensures seamless integration with hybrid or fully cloud-based infrastructures. 

SkyMon NG includes AI features to effectively detect interferences and compared with previous conventional system, improving the classification of the interference’s source. 

Designed with customer needs in mind, SkyMon NG offers a phased approach to upgrading from legacy systems, reducing the need for major infrastructure upgrades. Its adaptable architecture allows operators to leverage existing servers and infrastructure, helping to keep costs down while gaining access to next-generation technology. 

Bruno Milard, Head of Aerospace & Defense Electronics, Mission-Critical Systems, Eviden at Atos Group, said: “With our new SkyMon NG solution, Eviden is proud to provide a next-generation option that builds on our company’s core expertise while introducing cutting-edge capabilities. With ability to monitor high-throughput and beam hopping satellites, and its cloud-ready architecture, SkyMon NG ensures efficient use of satellite resources, providing a strategic edge for operators looking to optimize satellite performance in variable-demand environments.”
