Toulouse, France (SPX) Dec 14, 2006 The three-year-long TANGO (Telecommunications Advanced Networks for GMES Operations) project, being led by Astrium, will define, adapt, integrate, and initiate satellite communications services for Global Monitoring for Environment and Security requirements. Satellite telecommunications will be a key component of the future GMES architecture, as GMES services are developed to support public policy makers' needs in the domains of environment and security. Comprising a team of 24 partners across Europe, the TANGO project addresses key environment and security applications in domains such as marine services and emergency response including risk and crisis management, and humanitarian aid. TANGO is intended to provide the GMES community with access to satellite telecommunications solutions in order to meet their needs and to fulfil their missions. TANGO aims to develop and provide operational telecommunications solutions to meet the immediate needs of the GMES community. This will also help in defining the optimal satellite telecommunications infrastructures for future GMES services. The TANGO project will involve key players from the GMES community as well as experts from the satellite communication sector. The overall budget for TANGO is 8.9m euro - with euro 5m funded by the European Commission under the Sixth Framework Programme.
