The DLR Institute for Communication and Navigation plays a key role in the fields of satellite navigation, optical free-space communication and aeronautical communication. Around 200 people work at the institute in Oberpfaffenhofen and Neustrelitz and develop and investigate new systems and processes for radio transmission and radio location. They are used for the comprehensive supply of multimedia content, as well as for the Internet connection of satellites, airplanes or remote areas. Optical transmission methods are being worked on for the area of high-rate transmission between satellites and on the ground. In satellite navigation, great emphasis is placed on safety-critical applications that require very reliable position and time determination, as well as the ability to locate in urban canyons and buildings.
