The satellite industry is evolving rapidly, increasing both the opportunities and the complexity of delivering services across multiple networks and technologies. In this context, TM Forum’s Space ODAssey (SODA) initiative aims to help the industry address these challenges through greater standardization and interoperability.

Alvatross participates in this initiative, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the evolution of satellite-enabled connectivity.

What is Space ODAssey?

Space ODAssey is a TM Forum collaboration focused on extending the Open Digital Architecture (ODA) to the satellite domain.

The initiative focuses on:

  • Developing reusable models for satellite-based services
  • Defining standardized APIs
  • Enabling integration between terrestrial and satellite networks
  • Supporting the creation of new business models

Its goal is to simplify how services are designed and operated across increasingly complex environments.

Driving interoperability across networks

As satellite and terrestrial networks become more interconnected, interoperability becomes a key challenge for the industry.

Through Space ODAssey, TM Forum promotes a more unified approach to service design and operations, helping reduce fragmentation and enabling different systems to work together more efficiently.

Alvatross’ participation in this initiative is aligned with this direction, contribuiting to the development of more flexible and integrated connectivity models.

Enabling the next generation of satellite services

The evolution of the satellite ecosystem is closely linked to the need for more scalable and standardized approaches.

Space ODAssey supports use cases such as:

  • IoT connectivity
  • Inflight connectivity
  • Direct-to-device services

These scenarios requiere greater coordination between networks, as well as more efficient ways to deploy and manage services.

Strengthening Alvatross’ role in the space ecosystem

By participating in Space ODAssey, Alvatross continues to be involved in industry initiatives that aim to improve how satellite and terrestrial networks operate together.

This collaboration reflects a broader effort to support more open, interoperable, and scalable connectivity models, in line with the ongoing transformation of the space and telecom sectors.
