Compliance with regulations
SATMED operates in accordance with the Data Protection Laws and complies with EU regulations and the GDPR. Local national policies and regulations need to be addressed in specific deployment locations. Interview with manufacturer
The National Commision for Data Protection (CNPD) is an independent authority established by the Act of August 2, 2002 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and was involved in the design phase of SATMED. CNDP is responsible for verifying the legality of the files and any collection, use, and transmission of information concerning identifiable individuals and must ensure in this context respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons, including their private lives. Interview with manufacturer
Evaluation methods
Although no testing has currently been done, performance parameters include bandwidth, packet loss, latency, and signal degradation due to natural phenomena such as rain.
There are two parts to their internal evaluations: connectivity and software. For software evaluation the partners/customers complete surveys related to sustainability, social impact, organizational impact, training required, monitoring capability, and dissemination to other entities. <sup>Interview with manufacturer</sup>
