HISPASAT Drives Satellite Integration in the Development of 5G-6G with Three New Projects
Madrid, Spain. March 7, 2023 - Hispasat has launched three new innovation projects aimed at integrating terrestrial and satellite communications in the development of 5G-6G technologies. The objective is to ensure universal deployment of networks of this type so that they are also available in remote or less densely populated areas and even in maritime or aerial environments. It also standardizes the technological development of the satellite. The TRANTOR and 5G-STARDUST projects are funded by Horizon Europe and AROMA 3G is a national initiative.
As has been the case in the development of previous generations of mobile telephony, 5G technology has focused on the development of standard and interoperable technology between providers, manufacturers and operators. In other words, to allow the same technical parameters to be used at all times to facilitate people’s day-to-day life. In practice, this allows us to connect to the network of any operator other than our own to communicate with any point in the world that, in turn, may be connected to a different network. It further allows us to use our device in any destination to which we travel. It is an open technology approach that enables the new 5G mobile generation to grow faster, allowing increasingly more network and device manufacturers to appear on the market and, as a result, the technology evolves very quickly.
Conversely, the technological development of the satellite sector has traditionally been determined by the complexity of its systems and by very specific use cases. As a result, many of its solutions have a significant presence of functionalities from each manufacturer - and even from each operator - which makes interoperability between multiple networks difficult.
