Catalan algorithm for the European Space Agency<\/strong>
\nAiats Agust\u00ed BARCELONA 05|02|2015<\/p>\n

Scientists<\/span> have developed<\/span> this company<\/span> Catalan<\/span> algorithm<\/span> for compressing<\/span> information<\/span> useful<\/span> in the world<\/span> of<\/span> cloud<\/span> and<\/span> mobile <\/span>sector<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Francesc Julbe and<\/span> equipment<\/span> Dapcom<\/span> have worked for<\/span> more than 10 years<\/span> on the project<\/span> of<\/span> the European Space Agency<\/span> Gaia<\/span> processing<\/span> software<\/span>. <\/span>During this time<\/span> they have developed<\/span> an algorithm<\/span> for<\/span> data compression<\/span> mechanism<\/span> to compress<\/span> and send<\/span> large amounts of<\/span> data<\/span> very effectively<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0Now<\/span> Julbe<\/span> and business<\/span> specific applications<\/span> Dapcom<\/span> looking<\/span> for<\/span> this formula<\/span> to compress<\/span> information.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dapcom<\/span> is<\/span> one of the first<\/span> companies that have<\/span> installed<\/span> the<\/span> ESA<\/span> BIC<\/span> Barcelona<\/span>, managed by<\/span> Barcelona Activa<\/span> and located<\/span> in the building<\/span> RDIT<\/span> Park<\/span> UPC.<\/span><\/span>This<\/span>, ESA<\/span> BIC<\/span> is<\/span> a program<\/span> to<\/span> evaluate the<\/span> technology transfer to<\/span> other sectors.<\/span> From space<\/span>, from satellites that<\/span> the European Space Agency<\/span> has on<\/span> our heads.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Dapcom<\/span> presents<\/span> Fapex<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a<\/span> compression algorithm<\/span> to compress<\/span> data<\/span> communications and<\/span> set<\/span> to work<\/span> in space.<\/span><\/span> \u201cThe idea is to<\/span> commercially exploit<\/span> this<\/span> algorithm<\/span> and the possibilities<\/span> are immense<\/span>, “says<\/span> JULBE<\/span>.<\/span> Since<\/span> Dapcom<\/span> “<\/span>we provide data compression<\/span> and<\/span> multi<\/span> sector<\/span> such as<\/span> we are in an<\/span> incubation program<\/span> of<\/span> ESA<\/span>, our goal is to<\/span> refocus<\/span> the business<\/span> space<\/span> to other<\/span> sectors<\/span>“<\/span>, adds<\/span> the entrepreneur.<\/span> Julbe<\/span> explains that “<\/span>now we are<\/span> more of a<\/span> consultant<\/span> and<\/span> we aim<\/span> to develop a<\/span> finished product<\/span> applicable to other<\/span> areas<\/span>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Compressed data<\/span> and<\/span> speed<\/span><\/span>
\nDapcom<\/span> not yet<\/span> started<\/span> two years ago,<\/span> the company<\/span> now<\/span> has eight<\/span> entrepreneurs,<\/span> a person<\/span> full time<\/span> and<\/span> three<\/span> interns<\/span>.<\/span> Julbe<\/span> is<\/span> engingyer<\/span> telecommunications<\/span> and<\/span> other<\/span> members of<\/span> Dapcom<\/span> are<\/span> three<\/span> professors<\/span>, three<\/span> engineers and<\/span> two doctors<\/span> in physics<\/span>. JULBE<\/span> says<\/span>, work is beginning to bear<\/span> fruit<\/span>, but “<\/span>we have a modest<\/span> turnover<\/span> this year<\/span> will close<\/span> between<\/span> 80,000<\/span> and<\/span> 90,000<\/span> euros<\/span>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Julbe described<\/span> more specifically<\/span> what exactly<\/span> you do<\/span> in<\/span> Dapcom<\/span>:<\/span>: \u201cWith<\/span> the technology of<\/span> data compression<\/span> that we do<\/span> is to reduce<\/span> the volume<\/span> of data to<\/span> manage<\/span>, but this depends on the<\/span> use case<\/span><\/span>\u201d. A process of<\/span> telecommunications<\/span> -he goes on-<\/span> “means<\/span> a<\/span> data<\/span> transfer<\/span> from one side to<\/span> the other with<\/span> a bandwidth of<\/span> 1<\/span>, 10, 15<\/span> megs<\/span> or whatever<\/span>“<\/span>. The problem arises when<\/span>, says the engineer<\/span>, “<\/span>the volume of data can not fit through<\/span> the<\/span> canal<\/span> since<\/span> the time<\/span> you need to<\/span> convey<\/span> this information<\/span>,” and here<\/span> is where<\/span> Dapcom<\/span> “If<\/span> the<\/span> compress<\/span> can be<\/span> shared<\/span> more effectively<\/span> “<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the case of<\/span> satellites<\/span> it is very important<\/span>, “says JULBE<\/span>. “All the<\/span> technology<\/span> onboard<\/span> is very<\/span> expensive and<\/span> do not have<\/span> large amounts of memory<\/span>, so the data<\/span> must be sent<\/span> quickly.<\/span> The<\/span> algorithm<\/span> developed<\/span> is very effective<\/span> in terms of<\/span> time and<\/span> compression ratio<\/span>: and that<\/span> makes it very<\/span> competitive<\/span> in other<\/span> areas where<\/span> there are already<\/span> other<\/span> compressors<\/span>, “says the scientist<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The satellites<\/span> put<\/span> technology<\/span> on Earth<\/span>
\nNow<\/span> Dapcom<\/span> is dedicated to<\/span> searching<\/span> areas<\/span> where<\/span> this<\/span> algorithm<\/span> may be<\/span> useful, for example<\/span> the<\/span> cloud<\/span> world<\/span>, the sector of mobile telephony<\/span>, scientific research, super<\/span> computers,<\/span> Big Data<\/span>, multimedia, social networking<\/span> and<\/span> online gaming<\/span>. So<\/span> the idea is to<\/span> stop work<\/span> according to<\/span> specific projects<\/span> and to<\/span> create a<\/span> finished product<\/span> applicable to<\/span> markets<\/span> other<\/span> than the<\/span> space<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Keys<\/span>
\nDapcom<\/span> quickly<\/span> and effectively<\/span> compress<\/span> large amounts of information<\/span>.
\nThe fields<\/span> of application<\/span> of this technique<\/span> are very large<\/span>.
\nFrancis<\/span> and his companions<\/span> JULBE<\/span> accumulated<\/span> years of experience<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> AEE<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
