ETSI TC-SES
(SATELLITE EARTH STATIONS AND SYSTEMS) Responsible for all aspects relating to satellite communications. Responsibilities inside ETSI:
All types of satellite communication services and applications (both fixed and mobile). All types of earth stations and earth station equipment, especially the radio frequency interfaces and network and/or user interfaces. Protocols implemented in earth stations and satellite systems.

Responsibility outside ETSI

Primary Committee for co-ordinating the position of ETSI with relevant ITU Study Groups for satellite matters.
Geneva 9-11 Dec 2002 ITU Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia

TC-SES Working Groups with IP elements

Broadband Satellite Multimedia (BSM)
Main focus for IP over Satellite work in TC-SES This WG is the main subject of this presentation

Satellite Component of UMTS/IMT-2000 (S-UMTS)

Developing a S_UMTS air interface based on the 3GPP UMTS air interface. Air interface submitted as an IMT-2000 candidate Collaboration between ESA and TTC (Korea)

GEO Mobile Radio Interfaces (GMR)

Developing a GMPRS MES air interface based on the GSM/GPRS packet-mode air interface. GMPRS-1 packet-mode specifications build on the earlier GMR-1 circuit-mode air interface

Geneva 9-11 Dec 2002

ITU Workshop on Satellites in IP and Multimedia

TC-SES/ BSM WG
To produce specifications, standards and other ETSI deliverables for broadband satellite multimedia. This includes:
Definition of satellite system architectures supporting broadband services Service requirements and descriptions for broadband communications systems Definition of network architectures and interface protocols leading to air interface standards, interworking standards and other user terminal specifications.

To liaise with relevant other standardization bodies (e.g. TIA, ITU) on satellite matters
