The objective of their involvement was mainly educational allowing students to gain some world experience and providing material to write papers and thesis.

It has wide spectrum communications so it can act as a coordinator and relay of the different components of the FireRS (UAV, ground segment, emergency forces and, for some of the experiments, amateur radios).

It is a mixture of off-the-shelf and self developed technology (it includes several experimental features such as low-data rate communication, reception of ADS-B signals, characterization of interference sources, ground calibration etc.).

Due to the limitations in time management and critical response of the operating system, the CCSDS Packet Utilization Standard was incorporated into the software.

Moreover, some open programs were installed to handle radio communications and wavelength experiments such as GNURadio and SoapySDR drive with the possibility of further changes in-orbit due to the custom IP cores integrated into the FPGA.

The subsystem was developed to provide an inexpensive framework for humanitarian nanosatellites with great emphasis put in data gathering, ground communication and educative value.
