🛰️ #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
🎉Exciting news!🎉 Under our Space for 5G/6G & Sustainable Connectivity programme - which forms part of European Space Agency - ESA's Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) - we've selected TESAT for a pioneering 6G satellite precursor, which will see the delivery of an in-orbit laboratory named 6G LINO. The project aims to enable us to gain 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 standardisation of 6G. 🗣️“ESA is delighted to support this extremely important project, which will help pave the way for the future of satellite communication technology and with the aim to bring value to Europe’s 6G roadmap," said Antonio Franchi, Head of ESA's Space for 5G/6G & Sustainable Connectivity programme line. 📚Read more 👇 Open Cosmos Fraunhofer IIS Deutsche Telekom University of Surrey Airbus Defence and Space VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND Satellite Applications Catapult #esa #europeanspaceagency #connectivity #space #5g #6g #satellites #standardisation #ntn #terrestrialnetworks #mission #germany #europe #satellitecommunications #satcom #telecom #telecommunications #roadmap #digital #project #terrestrial #mobile
