So honored to sign this agreement with Antonio Franchi and European Space Agency – ESA, and Capgemini!

The #5GOverSatellite is the convergence of terrestrial and satellite networks in different orbits to ensure a seamless connectivity. This solution extends the coverage of #5G to areas which are not served by terrestrial networks by providing remote access to various used communication technologies and offering:

  • low latency,
  • high availability,
  • enhanced security.

By interconnecting our #5GLab in Paris with the 5G/6G Hub of the @european-space-agency located in the UK, via different types of connections, including satellite connectivity, we’ve created “5G bubbles” of a few kilometers to provide remote access to hosted applications.
This collaboration between our teams on hybrid terrestrial and #spatial connectivity opens up new perspectives and functions for secluded or remote areas.
