The expected result of 6GSatNet is the contribution over 6G for the deployment of satellite networks in the paradigm of non-terrestrial networks (NTN). To this end, the project leverages the construction of a 5G core compatible with non-terrestrial networks, as well as the development of new routing and access medium protocols.

  • NTN
  • 5G+ Core
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Inter-Satellite Link
  • SDN over satellite
  • Cybersecurity

The subproject focuses on addressing multiple challenges in the service segment that must be addressed before implementing Non-Terrestrial Networks. Among them, this subproject has focused on the following:

  1. Development of a flexible payload
  2. Development of new communication mechanisms to serve a large number of users
  3. Contribution to integrate quantum key distribution services into 6G
