SaT5G Workshop on 5G Satellite-Terrestrial Integration for Aircraft Connectivity

H2020 SaT5G Workshop on 5G Satellite-Terrestrial Integration for Aircraft Connectivity – February 6 2020, Wessling (Germany)

On February 6 2020, Zodiac Inflight, part of the Safran Passenger Innovations unit, hosted a successful workshop event about the R&D activities undertaken within the SaT5G project to deliver a prototype 5G system for the connectivity both inside an aircraft and to an external ground data network. A live demonstration of full integration of satellite-terrestrial networks within 5G was provided relying on Virtualized SkyEdgeIIc Platform over an emulated GEO satellite link. In addition, a video demonstration of the 5G satellite-terrestrial networks integration of over-the-air end-to-end connectivity relying on O3b MEO HTS satellite constellation was also delivered during the event.

The event was well attended by Zodiac Inflight R&D and product teams, the SaT5G testbed partners, namely SES, Gilat, Quortus and i2CAT, as well as by the SaT5G Project Coordinator Avanti, the SaT5G Technical Coordinator University of Surrey and the University of Oulu. The event was also attended by external participants, such as representatives from the European Space Agency (ESA), DLR Munich, DLR Bonn, and the SATis5 Prime Contractor Eurescom.
