ESA-ECSAT 5G/6G Hub webinar | Space to expand connectivity

ECSAT 5G/6G Hub

The ESA-ECSAT 5G/6G Hub – based at ESA’s European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications (ECSAT) at the Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire, UK – is the gateway for the commercialisation of space-enabled business ideas in 5G. Developed with information technology company CGI, the centre provides a converged satellite and 5G terrestrial network. Using this 5G environment and state-of-the-art equipment, businesses from many industries will partner with ESA to test and develop innovative applications. While initially focused on 5G, as the connectivity transformation continues, a further generation, 6G, will become part of the ECSAT 5G/6G Hub.

The ESA-ECSAT 5G/6G Hub webinar is an online event bringing together industrial actors from a range of business sectors. The attendees will have the opportunity to hear from telecommunications experts on how hybrid satellite-terrestrial networks can contribute to their technology development. The webinar will highlight examples from the areas of healthcare, the energy sector, and the automotive industry.
