About TELETEL

TELETEL is a private software and electronics design & development company based in Athens, Greece, committed to offering innovative solutions and setting industry standards while delivering a wide range of cost-effective products.

We were established in 1995 and we specialise in the leading edge areas of Space and Defence. Firmly established in a highly competitive global market, we are a recognised supplier of products and solutions to the international space and defence markets.

We work very closely with the European industry having provided micro-electronics / software solutions and products to AIRBUS DEFENCE & SPACE, THALES ALENIA SPACE, OHB, EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY (ESA), CNES, THALES, MBDA, DASSAULT and many other customers.

SPACE Activities

TELETEL is a Greek satellite test systems and software engineering company providing innovative solutions to Space agencies, major European space companies (including the three primes Airbus Defence & Space, Thales Alenia Space and OHB), and several other aerospace industries in US, Japan & South Korea.

Since 2008 we have contributed to the success of more than 15 Space missions including EUCLID, JUICE, PLATO, IASI-NG, MICROCARB, FLEX, CSO, Galileo 2G, Copernicus LSTM / CIMR / CRISTAL, ARIEL, etc.

TELETEL’s main competences in the Space domain include:

  • iSAFT Product Line: Test Equipment for satellite/spacecraft on-board data networks (SpaceWire, SpaceFibre, MIL-STD-1553, CAN/CANOpen, WizardLink, TTEthernet, etc.)
  • Integrated Satellite Test Systems (EGSEs & specialized SCOEs, such as Payload EGSE, Platform EGSE, Instrument Simulators, Platform Simulator, Custom EGSEs)
  • On-board & Ground SW development (Application Software, Communication Protocols etc.)
  • Engineering support services (AIT/AIV support, etc.)

DEFENCE Activities

TELETEL specialises in the design, development and testing of leading edge technology electronic systems and high reliability software for the needs of the International & Hellenic Defence Industries. In collaboration with major manufacturers of defence systems, we have developed solutions software and hardware solutions for:

  • Tactical Communications
  • Radar Systems
  • Command & Control
  • Simulation & Testing
  • Automated Test Equipment Development and Upgrade
  • Avionics Modernisation
  • Specialised Microelectronics / Avionics

TELETEL has successfully implemented and delivered the above solutions and subsystems to major international defence industries.

TELETEL is fully certified according to the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Standard. All key company personnel and facilities are also certified and authorised to handle graded material according to NATO C-M (2002) 49 Security System and 2013/488/EC Council Decision. The company is registered in the Registry of Defence Material Manufacturers of the Hellenic Ministry of Defence for the activities of “Software Development for Defence systems” (Certificate No: 0051).

History & Milestones

Since 1995 we have been an approved development house for ALCATEL-LUCENT Germany. We have developed an integrated a powerful SW/HW environment for the simulation, validation & monitoring of a wide range of telecommunication protocol based systems. It constituted a highly successful protocol validation tool in the telecommunication sector & with hundreds of installations worldwide (including ALCATEL-LUCENT, MOTOROLA, A1 TELEKOM AUSTRIA and many others) and it has been widely used for testing of various telecommunication networks (ISDN, V5, SS7, IN, GSM, UMTS, VoIP, IMS custom).

Since 2000, in collaboration with major manufacturers of defence systems, we have successfully implemented and delivered advanced electronic systems and high reliability software for Tactical Communications, Radar Systems, Command & Control, Simulation & Testing, Avionics Modernisation to major international defence industries including THALES AIR DEFENCE, THALES ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, MBDA and HELLENIC AEROSPACE INDUSTRY.

Since 2005, we setup a dedicated team for the development of high reliability on-board & ground software for defense and space systems, according to ECSS CatB & CatC and DO-178B standards. Our software has been already integrated in radar systems, missile control systems, the CSO satellites and the EUCLID, JUICE and Galileo  2G spacecrafts.

Since 2008, various activities in the validation of aerospace related components (SpaceWire, MIL-STD-1553, SpaceFibre, Time Triggered Ethernet, IMA TSP, etc.) have been successfully handled and internal infrastructure (i.e. representative testbeds for S/C on-board network architecture) has gradually been built. We have developed our own platform/product (i.e. iSAFT product line supporting SpaceWire, SpaceFibre, ECSS MIL-STD-1553, ECSS CAN, WizardLink, TTEthernet) for validation, monitoring and interfaces simulation, in cooperation with ESA & Space Primes, to comply with space on-board industrial validation requirements (ECSS, EGSE, AIT, AIV, etc.). The iSAFT products have more than 200 installations to most European space companies (including the three primes AIRBUS, TAS & OHB), but also to several other customers in US, Japan & South Korea.

Since 2015, and based on the iSAFT product line, we started the supply of Integrated Satellite Test Systems (EGSEs & specialized SCOEs), such as Payload EGSE, Platform EGSE, Instrument Simulators, Platform Simulator, Custom EGSEs, etc., for various space missions such as EUCLID, PLATO, IASI-NG, MICROCARB, FLEX, ALTIUS, CSO, Galileo 2G, Copernicus LSTM, CIMR, ARIEL, etc.
