The GR716B is an all-in-one solution for surveillance, monitoring, and control in satellite applications. Designed with versatility in mind, the new microcontroller adapts effortlessly to a wide range of space systems thanks to a complete set of standard interfaces, architectural features, and integrated analog functions.
Sandi Habinc, General Manager at Frontgrade Gaisler, said, “With the GR716B, we are pleased to offer a solution that reflects the ambitions of the space industry. The GR716B engineering model is now available to alpha customers for integration into new missions.
The GR716B combines proven technology with innovations that address space industry challenges such as the need for low power consumption and efficient use of onboard resources. Frontgrade Gaisler also plans to bring the GR716B System-in-Package (SiP) solution to the market, which combines a new microcontroller with non-volatile memory, thus simplifying system design.
The development of GR716B was made possible with the support of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Core Competitiveness program, part of the Advanced Research in Telecommunication Systems program and in ESA’s Connectivity and Secure Communications Directorate, and the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA), which represents a continued commitment to progress classroom technology.
Domenico Mignolo, Head of ESA’s Technology and Products Division, said, “We are pleased to support Frontgrade Gaisler through the Core Competitiveness program. By supporting the development of versatile space-class microcontrollers, ESA aims to bring innovation in satellite communications to strengthen industrial competitiveness.
