[hpsdr] Amazon AWS Ground Station Service

[Dick Bingham]

I just received this info from an ARRL Contesting email message ===>

" Amazon has just announced a new service: AWS Ground Station.
<https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-ground-station-ingest-and-process-data-from-orbiting-satellites/>
Yes,
it's a real service. You can schedule time on Amazon's dish infrastructure
to receive raw spectrum data from a particular satellite, then "the raw
analog data from the satellite is processed by our modem digitizer into a
data stream (in what is formally known as VITA 49 baseband or VITA 49 RF
over IP data streams) and routed to an EC2 instance that is responsible for
doing the signal processing to turn it into a byte stream." It's really
aimed a certain type of customer needing to receive information from
commercial birds. But the concept is really interesting, and if it becomes
popular, expect that a bunch of tools and techniques for processing
spectral information will become available. *Some Amateur gear, for example
Flexradio, already uses VITA 49 standards for parts of their software*.  "

Does *OpenHPSDR mRX PS .....*   use this VITA 49 stuff ?
