ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications’ Post

🛰️ #TeamTESAT is honoured and excited as the ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications selected TESAT for a groundbreaking 6G satellite precursor project! 🚀 “This pioneering project demonstrates to the space world once again the capabilities of the European #space sector and, in particular, of the German space industry. It also confirms the relevance and importance of the #ESA-#ARTES technology development programmes for creating future technologies.” Thomas Reinartz, CEO of TESAT explained. “We, as TESAT, and the consortium, including Open Cosmos, Fraunhofer IIS, University of Surrey, Airbus Defence and Space, Deutsche Telekom Business Solutions, VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND, and Satellite Applications Catapult are making our contribution by developing the key digital technologies. In this way, we are making a strong commitment to Europe, Germany and #Baden-#Württemberg." 💡 The #6G #LINO will be a game-changer in the industry, helping to establish satellites as a ubiquitous connectivity solution integrated into terrestrial infrastructures, by “offering great opportunities to test processor technologies, algorithms and AI methods of potential 5G/6G use cases” said Dr. Walther Pelzer, Director General of the Deutsche Raumfahrtagentur im DLR, who coordinates the German Budget to ESA on behalf of the German Government. 🌐 For more information 👉 https://lnkd.in/ecixFnta #Space #SpaceMatters

𝗘𝗦𝗔 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝗮𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝟲𝗚 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗼 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 ESA – under its Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES)’ Space for 5G/6G & Sustainable Connectivity programme line – selected TESAT for a pioneering 6G satellite precursor. The goal of the project is to deliver an in-orbit laboratory, gaining knowledge on End-to-End-Connectivity and the inclusion of satellites in terrestrial mobile networks. It is expected that the result will bring valuable information for the 6G standardization. 6G applications can boost the technological potential of the European digital and aerospace industry and broadband connectivity even further. This opens up growth potential and applications beyond imagination. Unlimited worldwide access to the internet through seamless network availability is only possible if terrestrial networks are connected to additional network points from space. This project is laying the foundations for future communication technology, namely space-based communication hubs with extremely high-data rates for Europe's digital future. The 6G LINO (6G laboratory in orbit) will produce a 16U CubeSat - a small satellite with specific dimensions - and bring it to a low earth orbit. A satellite of this length is similar in size to a small refrigerator. In addition, a full 5G-based ground segment including a core network will be set up to allow end-to-end tests, which will include the satellite.

"The Global Satellite Operators Association (#GSOA) and the European Space Agency - ESA are looking to collaborate further as they aim to ensure #satellites role in #future #5G and #6G #networks. They have signed a memorandum of intent (#MOI) in the areas of #space-based 5G and 6G #ecosystems, #innovations of 5G and 6G #networks, and the integration of #satellite and #terrestrialNetworks and technologies. The two organizations announced the collaboration on Feb. 6. The hope is that this MOI will symbolize the start of an exciting journey towards the integration of satellite and terrestrial networks and technologies, reflecting a united effort to shape the future of increased #inclusive and #sustainable #connectivity and #telecommunications on a global #scale. This #strategic #partnership between GSOA and ESA aims to bring the #mobile and the #satellite communities closer together, to accelerate the innovation in the integration of satellites in 5G and 6G networks. “GSOA actively engages in the dynamic ecosystem of non-terrestrial and terrestrial integration. This powerful synergy, by unlocking the full potential of both satellite and terrestrial telecommunications, not only enables to #advanceTechnology, but also ensures that it connects everyone, everywhere, shaping the future of connectivity, and working towards resolving the #digitaldivide. By fostering collaboration and embracing #innovation, we #envision a future where every individual, regardless of location, enjoys the #benefits of a #connectedWorld,” Isabelle Mauro, director general at GSOA, said in a statement."

📣 Partnership Annoucement 🛰️ iLAuNCH Trailblazer x Inovor Technologies Satellites rely on radio systems to generate, transmit, receive and process signals. Satellites are akin to computers in the sky, and radio communication serves as their primary means of interaction with us on the ground. Naturally, when communicating with any type of computer, more data is advantageous, and satellites are no exception! The iLAuNCH Trailblazer project brings together The Australian National University and Inovor to develop resilient radio links to ground stations and for inter-satellite communication. The project will develop and qualify a satellite-based Software Defined Radio for an on orbit demonstration of capability. All these critical components, will be crafted within our facilities, to establish a sovereign edge, reinforcing our ability to maximise mission assurance ✨ Matthew Tetlow | Darin Lovett #InovorTech #SATCOMM #Collaboration #Partnership #SpaceInAustralia

🛰️🌐 The European Space Agency - ESA has awarded Aalyria a development contract to help unlock new 5G/6G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) capabilities. The project, which is also supported by the UK Space Agency, will see the development of a novel O-RAN compliant orchestration system that can stitch together connectivity assets to form networks across land, sea, air and space to deliver features based on emerging 5G-Advanced and 6G standards. Working with ESA, Aalyria’s software platform – named Spacetime – will be made available to partners at our 5G/6G Hub in Harwell, United Kingdom. Antonio Franchi, Head of Space for 5G and 6G Strategic Programme at ESA, said: “Collaborations with industrial partners, like this one with Aalyria, play a pivotal role in ESA's efforts to advance the digital transformation of industry and society, thanks to the integration of 5G/6G Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks. Establishing seamless ubiquitous and resilient connectivity is vital in the context of emerging technologies. The platform envisioned under this development contract could be a game-changing asset for telecommunications systems, with substantial benefits for stakeholders.” 📖Read more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/efg23kah 🚨Discover more about our 5G/6G Hub, opportunities to collaborate and ways to engage with our team here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ecuEH8uB #5g #6g #connectivity #europe #esa #europeanspaceagency #partnership #collaboration #innovation #connect #secure #ntn #project #telecommunications #spacetime #software #hub #unitedkingdom #networks #space #5gadvanced #integration #workingtogether #digital #platform #security #emerging #oran #gamechanging #european #stakeholders

5G is giving the convergence of terrestrial and satellite-based networks a major boost. Under the keyword "Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)", satellites are being consistently integrated into the mobile communications standard for the first time, subsequently paving the way for a global and dense communication network in the future 6G generation. Both sides benefit from this: not only does it mean terrestrial cellular networks can count on satellite support to overcome any range limitations, it also gives the satellite industry the opportunity to expand its offering of services far beyond the provision of satellite TV and internet. For example, the automotive industry and the Internet of Things benefit from seamless connectivity with NTN.
