IngeniArs is an Italian company that provides solutions for onboard data handling communication networks and satellite communications.

The company develops and offers products and services mainly related to communication networking protocols, onboard spacecraft among the different acquisition instruments and subsystems for processing, and for satellite communications, both radio-frequency and optical. The company has got expertise in digital electronics and embedded systems.

IngeniArs is particularly active in the aerospace business providing design services in several space missions funded by the European Space Agency such as Meteosat Third, Generation, Copernicus Sentinel 3, FLEX, PLATO, and EUCLID.

In particular, IngeniArs provides solutions in terms of products and design services in the fields of:

• Onboard data handling communication links and networks, in particular related to ECSS standards such as SpaceWire and SpaceFibre and other solutions used in space applications such as WizardLink.
• Satellite communications, in particular related to the CCSDS 131.2-B standard, which is dedicated to high-rate telemetry applications mainly for Earth Observation in Low-Earth Orbit, and the CCSDS 142.0-B-1 standard for optical communications.
• Artificial Intelligence, neural networks, and hardware accelerators are used mainly for cloud detection. Customized neural networks are available on demand.

In the fields mentioned above, IngeniArs provides various solutions in terms of standard products, customized products, and design services such as:

• Intellectual Property (IP) cores are functional macro-cell that can be integrated into a larger design to implement the FPGA/ASIC. IP cores are building blocks for an FPGA/ASIC design.
• Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), are custom-designed hardware components targeted for a specific application.
• Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE), hardware components to support the validation phases of the units. In particular, IngeniArs has products to be integrated into larger EGSEs related to the field of onboard data handling communication links and networks.
• Test Software, software simulators to support the validation phases of the units.

The test software is typically used as a simulation environment for preliminary assessment of system end-to-end performance or for early validation. To this aim, IngeniArs test software typically includes a hardware-in-the-loop facility to allow the system under test to be connected to the software simulation.
