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

This subproject seeks to address multiple challenges in the ground segment that must be addressed before deploying Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). Among them, the subproject has focused on three:

  1. An improved 5G network core
  2. A unified service orchestrator
  3. An AI-based constellation planning environment
