The 5G architecture standard has changed the communications landscape, and it is now punctuated by real
opportunities for satellite to play an integral role. Acting as a banner for all standardization technologies,
including Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Metro Ethernet
Forum (MEF), the 5G architecture standard potentiates both satellite’s place in mainstream connectivity, and
full interoperability within the end-to-end 5G network.

Cellular Connectivity: Changing the Landscape of the Cellular Backhaul Market...ST Engineering iDirect
The demand for connectivity is surging worldwide. Today more than ever, more people in more places are connecting for work, entertainment, social communications, and education. Increasingly, they’re using smartphones, tablets, and other easy-to-carry devices. And in many underdeveloped parts of the world, smartphones are often the only Internet access technology that’s both affordable and available.
As a result, mobile networks are poised to become the primary way in which we connect. According to the 2018 Ericsson Mobility Report, there will be 7.2 billion smartphone subscriptions by 2023. Total data traffic has surged by 400% from 2013 to today and is projected to explode another 500% by 2023.
Interesting Whitepaper from #HCLTECH, though a bit old (2016) but good for beginners on 5G and introductory know-how about 5G start with IMT2020. Informative insights.

5G broadband began to be promoted throughout the United States, it not only brought users a faster Internet, but also brought a new technical architecture designed to further support 5G networks.
As operators around the world are looking for solutions to cope with the growing demand for mobile data, it is necessary to develop 5G technology.
One of those architectures is named device-to-device (D2D) communications, which refers to the communication between devices, which may be cellphones or vehicles. this system opens new device-centric communication that always requires no direct communication with the network infrastructure.
This is good because D2D architecture is predicted to unravel a minimum of a part of the network capacity issue as 5G promises more devices to be connected in faster, more reliable networks.
To understand the new 5G technology, the important point is that it does not only involve faster smartphones. In fact, technologists now call 5G the post-smartphone era.
Higher speeds and lower latency will enable new experiences that require continuous communication between augmented reality and virtual reality, connected cars, smart homes, and machines without lag.

Enabling a Big Vision for 5G with Small Cells - CyientPercy-Mitchell
5G promises to transform the way we live and work, offering extremely low latency of less than 10 milliseconds coupled with ultra-high-speed broadband networks. And small cells are an indispensable component of next-generation networks
Enabling a Big Version for 5G with Small CellsPercy-Mitchell
Industry reports suggest that there will be approximately 2.5 billion 5G users by 2025, i.e., around 40% of the world’s population. To gear up for this momentous shift, communications service providers must upgrade and modernize networks and prepare them for the 5G era. Powered by small cells, Ultra Dense Networks (UDNs) will be the cornerstone of 5G networks, driving multiple 5G use cases, including smart cities, Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and more.
Satellite Backhaul has historically allowed MNOs to expand their coverage. However, these opportunities were
traditionally restrained to very remote locations, driven by government incentive programs. Satellite was perceived
as a slow, expensive and cumbersome solution, able to capture a mere 1.7 percent of global installations of base
stations (2019 Satellite Market Share by BTS Backhaul Technology).
This report describes the 5G requirements, use cases and technologies which are modelling the transformation of the core network and a roadmap how the 3GPP Evolve Packet Core can be modified to become the core for the 5G networks.

Similar to Whitepaper : Breaking Ground In The 5G Era (20)
The demand for bandwidth is soaring worldwide. More people in more places are connecting for work,
entertainment, social communication, and education, and they’re increasingly using mobile phones, tablets,
and other easy-to-carry devices. And in many developing parts of the world, mobile phones are often the only
internet-access technology that’s both affordable and available.
Whitepaper: Staying Ahead of the Changing Security Threat LandscapeST Engineering iDirect
The satellite industry is undergoing its greatest transformation with the launch of thousands of satellites
across all orbits and the convergence of the telecom ecosystem. With this progression brings an increase of
vulnerabilities and threat vectors. It is more imperative than ever that government and military entities
continually improve their security posture to remain resilient in the face of adversaries.
Whitepaper: Satellites Role in the Transformation of Enterprise DigitalizationST Engineering iDirect
Satellite technology has, is and will continue to play a critical role in enterprise markets, particularly for remote
and underserved locations. This is evident in the energy sector where satellite communications are often the
lifeline, if not the only link, for personnel and critical assets such as those in offshore oil platforms. However, urban
centers require satellite connectivity as well, and many industries including retail and banking have adopted
satcom solutions as part of their primary mode of communication. Back-up services likewise take up demand
for both remote and urban premises.
The rise and growth of streamed video has completely
revolutionized how we watch TV and consume content.
During 2020, this has been magnified as people on every
continent have dealt with the effects of the COVID-19
lockdown, faced with months of isolation. The go-to
entertainment solution has been streaming services and
this has been reflected in a sharp rise in subscriptions.
In the advent of key technology innovation breakthroughs and their implementation in next generation satellite
networks, it is a good time to take a step back and reflect how these technologies will enable new capabilities and
improve civil, government and military missions and operations. Convergence is the central theme across these
new generation of satellite networks that reunite space segment, ground segment, user segment and the service
layer. With the adoption of 5G and cloud-based architectures convergence also applies to the increased demand
for hybrid networks combining satellite and terrestrial technologies into a single network. The main purpose for the
convergence is to remove the complexity of ground segment networks and cater for an orchestration of services
across these networks, allowing for new operational scenarios and supporting increased scalability and flexibility for
globally dispersed government and military operations connecting fixed, on-the-move and on-the pause platforms
on the ground, in the air and at sea.
Demand for the Internet of Things (IoT) is exploding, as more and more companies in a wide range of industries
look to capitalize on the promises of IoT to improve their efficiency and increase their revenues. The opportunity
for satellite to play a role in the IoT ecosystem is here, but the satellite industry has to overcome the challenge of
integrating seamlessly into the complex IoT framework. However, with an appropriate understanding of end-user
needs and careful planning, satellite service providers have the chance to fulfill the unmet, voracious demand for
all things IoT and reap the rewards of this technology’s explosive growth.
Whitepaper: Gaining Operational Advantage Through Innovative Milsatcom NetworksST Engineering iDirect
For defense agencies, gaining an operational advantage is always a critical objective. In today’s evolving world, that means military organizations need a sophisticated satellite communications network that can accommodate increasingly dispersed and complex operations while providing the utmost security and resiliency. This white paper focuses on building a multi-layered security and resiliency network in line with the six key requirements necessary to obtain information superiority, tactical advantage and successful operations.
Enterprises all over the world are joining the cloud revolution and moving their vital operations and IT infrastructure to the cloud—a trend that has increased in recent years and that shows no signs of slowing down. This development has major implications for the satellite industry: To keep pace and stay relevant and useful to enterprise clients both present and future networking infrastructure needs to migrate to the cloud. By embracing this shift, the satellite industry can create enormous opportunity by improving its technology through scalability and delivering its services in a space where enterprise clients are increasingly operating
Why Enterprises Are Moving to the Cloud:
It’s Good Business
The shift toward the cloud is a sound business practice for modern enterprises, delivering cost, efficiency, and competitiveness benefits in myriad ways.
Cost Savings
Moving to cloud-based operations pays off many times over for enterprises by allowing them to embrace digitalization without incurring the significant costs that would accompany such an undertaking if it were datacenter based. By relying on cloud-based infrastructure, enterprises don’t need to invest in the capital expenditure of a new or upgraded data center, or its attendant new hardware and real estate. They can save on operating expenses, since they don’t need to fund the utilities and workforce needed to maintain the data center. And they can reduce the cost of their IT departments by shifting from fixed-cost models to pay-as-you-use models.
When it comes time to launch a new application, an enterprise can realize even more cost savings through the cloud. Using a pre-cloud model, enterprises would run their applications using either their own data centers or a costly third party-run data center in both opex and capex. Enterprises can now develop and deploy an application with no capex investment, since all the application’s data is stored in cloud-based infrastructure. And since the cloud features a pay-as-you-use cost structure, all the increased expenses of launching a new application can be immediately covered with the savings and profits realized by the use of the application itself resulting in a faster return on investment. And since enterprises are outsourcing their infrastructure needs, they are free to focus their time and money on data analysis and interpretation of the application’s results.
Compared to
Advances in telco, IT and new space bring greater opportunity, but also new complexities that need to be solved for that opportunity to be realized. And much of this falls on the shoulders of the ground segment industry.
Intelsat FlexMove provides a breakthrough in speed, reliability and flexibility for communications-on-the-move (COTM) users even in the most remote and hard to reach locations.
The satellite sector is undergoing the biggest transformation in its history and at the root of it all is New Space innovation. We’re moving into new orbits, moving towards new, configurable satellite designs and new business models. And as we saw last week during the Satellite Show’s LEO Forum, interest in this new era is surging as operators, launch providers, service providers and equipment manufacturers learn more about what is expected of them and how they will need to collaborate. This move to NGSO (Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit) is now pushing the entire ecosystem towards new ways of thinking.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
2. The 5G architecture standard has changed the communications landscape, and it is now punctuated by real
opportunities for satellite to play an integral role. Acting as a banner for all standardization technologies,
including Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Metro Ethernet
Forum (MEF), the 5G architecture standard potentiates both satellite’s place in mainstream connectivity, and
full interoperability within the end-to-end 5G network.
While the satellite industry is focusing on aligning with these open standards, satellite’s capabilities are also
increasingly better known. With satellite, people’s lives are being significantly improved as they’re brought
online from within coverage gaps. MNOs will be able to complement their 5G services by adding satellite
connectivity to their terrestrial networks in large scale. They will be able to take advantage of satellite’s
inherent multicasting functionality for new use cases, while preserving high-value wireless spectrum for
latency-sensitive services.
Additionally, they can use satellite’s longer range to complement the buildout of 5G in remote areas, where
deploying terrestrial networks for enhanced broadband services is simply cost prohibitive. When it comes to
delivery of 5G to premises, satellite will play a complementary role with terrestrial networks, delivering
broadband connectivity across underserved or unserved areas, in addition to providing back up connectivity to
enterprise sites. We also see maritime and enterprise providers among the early adopters of 5G standards within
their networks. The relevance and need for satellite within the connectivity mix has never been more apparent.
Especially now, with the proliferation of LEO and MEO offerings, it’s clear that satellite will play a key role.
At ST Engineering iDirect, it is our mandate to foster industry collaboration that ensures satellite’s place in the
future 5G connected world. We see the movement toward 5G as a path to standards-based access for a fully
converged, end-to-end network.
This paper will provide you with an overview of the importance of the 5G standard for satellite, key 5G
technology innovations, the new applications and opportunities that 5G will address, and the advances we
have made in satellite over 5G.
Innovation, standardization, virtualization and know-how are
essential to realizing the opportunities that 5G presents to satcoms.
3. Satellite as an Integral
Part of the Hybrid Network
The 5G standard has been designed by the wireless industry to
leverage virtualization and automation and to streamline
service delivery. It will ultimately form the fabric of an entirely
new networking architecture — a network of networks —
with multiple access technologies such as Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G and IoT.
The 5G standard brings technology together from three main
areas: Evolved Packet Core (EPC/5G Core) from 3GPP and the
cellular industry; NFV and SDN from the networking industry;
and Cloud Computing technologies. In addition, the adoption
of Open RAN, where the functionality is disaggregated and the
Radio Access Network (RAN) is built using open interface
specifications between the different elements, will help to
further scale the cost- efficiency of networks.
What is crystal clear is that 5G standardization is key to realizing
this bigger, faster, better 5G future. Satellite capacity must work
seamlessly with terrestrial networks in order to enable
interoperability and unlock new use cases. It is with that in
mind, that current 3GPP research activities also highlight the
importance of standardization around NTN (Non-terrestrial-
networks), a proxy for standardization of satellite
communication within 3GPP.
The end-goal is well understood. Satellite Service providers
need to be able to steer communication traffic easily and
effectively to the best options available in terrestrial and
non-terrestrial networks, while deftly navigating bandwidth,
latency and network conditions, all the while delivering QoS
and meeting top user experiences.
5G: More than the
Evolution of Wireless Standards
To better understand the magnitude of 5G transformation, it’s
helpful to take a quick look back at how each standard evolved.
Initially, the early 2G voice networks consisted of a switch with
centralized functions and a hierarchical RAN. In 3G, these
became less hierarchical to handle basic packet data. As the
network evolved to better handle data services through packet
data, more distributed RAN elements became prevalent.
4G/LTE networks today are centralized around EPC/3 GPP
network components with a flat IP RAN architecture.
The new 5G standard is further evolving this by virtualizing
individual EPC functions, and then dynamically distributing
them across the core and to the edge of the network, as
facilitated by concepts such as network slicing and Multi-access
Edge Computing (MEC). Additionally, 5G is a service-based
architecture designed around services that will invoke inter-
operability with standard APIs.
The rollout of a new standard — whether from 2G to 3G or 3G
to 4G /LTE — has taken anywhere from three to eight years. In
fact, 4G adoption is still ongoing. With 5G, we’re seeing
adoption at various speeds, depending on the use case
and region. However, it will be sometime until significant 5G
cover age is truly available globally.
With major architectural changes in these areas, satellite
must be ready for the shift that is redefining the new
connectivity landscape.
4. 5G as a Key Technology Enabler
In order for global satcom 5G deployments to become reality
satellite must adhere to the standards used in the converged
end-to-end network. Within such a hybrid network satellite plays
a part in access networks that provide broadband connectivity
to the consumer and in aggregation networks that connect
network nodes to the core network. Each of these areas requires
its own standards but there is also a clear convergence
happening towards 3GPP/5G on the access and MEF on the
aggregation side. Satellite needs to adhere to these standards in
order to fully integrate into this fully converged network.
There are also other advances happening, revolving around
using EPC, orchestration and the 5G New Radio (5G NR)
waveform dramatically increasing speeds, decreasing latency,
and allowing for complete network orchestration.
Digital transformation of the ground is also necessary to better
integrate with telecommunications to enable 5G. Simply
embracing proven principles and best practices from the larger
scale telco and IT worlds, and adapting those to specific needs,
can help accelerate availability and adoption. These key
enablers are virtualization, cloudification and orchestration.
With virtualization and cloudification, ground networks can
establish private cloud environments to extend capabilities
and connect with functions and services available in major
public cloud environments. Moving virtualized functions into
the cloud has quickly become a key driving force for
businesses today, as applications are moved out of on-
premises data centers in a bid to innovate, cut costs and
increase agility. The leading cloud players, namely Amazon
(AWS), Microsoft (Azure) and Google (Cloud) have been
seeking more in routes into the satellite industry, and have
started to embrace the satellite ground segment.
With service orchestration, satellite and terrestrial hybrid
networks based on open architectures and standardized
platform APIs can be easily integrated, resulting in seamless
service delivery while reducing operational complexities and
ensuring that services are implemented in an automated,
expedient and frictionless manner, as needed.
SATELLITE AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE HYBRID NETWORK
5. 5G Applications & Satellite’s Important Role
As 5G’s common network architecture is satellite’s ticket into
the world of mainstream connectivity, so is satellite the way
that 5G applications can change the world. With 5G’s ability to
connect virtually everyone and everything, including
machines, objects and devices, an explosion of new
applications and user experiences is happening. Some of these
new user experiences will require ultra-high speeds and
enhanced broadband, notably for gaming and broadband
internet. Some will require quasi-real-time connections for
ultra- low latency applications, such as for the autonomous car.
Others will require massive scale for big data connecting
millions of endpoints, such as with applications in M2M or IoT.
According to NSR, the opportunities for satellite are significant.
NSR is predicting that 5G-differentiated applications such as 5G
backhaul and hybrid networks will generate close to one-third
of net satellite capacity revenue growth in backhaul within the
next decade. The current use cases are extensive and include
IoT, backhaul, maritime, aviation, land mobility, enterprise and
broadcast. When looking at mission critical control,
where lives could be lost or where downtime could result in a
catastrophic end physically or financially, satellite is tantamount
to a must-have lifeline. Such time sensitive information can
often be addressed with data processing at the edge, referred
to as edge computing, circumventing latency aspects often
associated with satellite networks.
The need for satellite backhaul is very clear when considering
the massive increase for bandwidth. MNOs must face a new
rush of data and video demands from even more connected
devices, along with the costs to deploy new base stations,
lower ARPU in many unconnected areas, usage gap
anomalies, challenging topographies and limited skill sets
required to set-up network coverage. Here, satellite will play a
key role in backhauling these massive amounts of bandwidth
from remote areas driven by enhanced mobile broadband
applications. When it comes to delivery of 5G to premises,
satellite will play a complementary role with terrestrial
networks, delivering broadband connectivity across
underserved or unserved areas, in addition to providing back
up to enterprise sites.
With satellite, MNOs can connect remote or rural areas cost-
effectively. They can also complement their 5G services with
content distribution over satellite, an effective way for large
scale networks to utilize satellite’s inherent multicasting
functionality. In this way, MNOs preserve high-value wireless
spectrum for more latency-sensitive services. Ultimately,
MNOs and service providers can better adopt satellite services,
leading to more use cases and new applications in turn.
This is satellite’s prime time, after all, it has been proven with
3G and 4G that satellite can cost- effectively backhaul massive
amounts of cellular data over long distances. We expect 5G
backhauling to be no different.
IoT networks mark another massive opportunity in emerging
5G applications. From sensors to surveillance and even ATMs,
M2M communications will accelerate greatly with 5G, helping
to push IoT further along. The burgeoning M2M and IoT
markets are churning out massive applications that equal a
massive amount of sites, number of connections and
bandwidth. Not only is satellite needed for backhauling from
aggregation points, but remote connectivity is needed to
enable IoT in far out places.
When considering the advances in the satellite industry with
the emergence of new powerful satellite constellations
dedicated to IoT, the advances in antenna terminal sizes with
new phased-array technologies and powerful new modems
coupled with scalable waveform technologies, satellite’s case
becomes even more compelling. There is no doubt satellite is
the enabling access technology to meet the three connectivity
expectations of customers: Everything, everywhere, always.
6. Our Key Advances in 5G
From standardization, new network architectures and
virtualization, to the fresh innovation needed to unlock the 5G
market and a solid number of 5G applications, satellite has a
glorious mainstream entry point. At ST Engineering iDirect, we
understand that a bigger, better, faster 5G future isn’t possible
without innovation and collaboration of ground technology
partners. We understand this is key in order to harness the
promise of new software-defined satellite constellations and of
New Space. ST Engineering iDirect is leading this industry
movement – we call it New Ground.
On the standardization front, we’ve worked relentlessly with
many partners on initiatives and testbeds to transform the fabric
of the satellite network to better integrate with 5G. We’ve been
working diligently to develop the 5G architecture standard along
with other innovation required to align satellite, so that it takes its
place as an integral part of the new connectivity landscape.
For us, collaboration with technology partners is key in order to
push forward these concepts. Over the years, we have been
participating directly into the 3GPP standards initiatives around 5G,
as well as other organizations such as 5GPPP and ETSI driving a
number of frameworks supporting 5G deployments. As we adopt
new 3GPP standards and releases defining 5G, we see a substantial
rise of satellite network deployments. They will become both
easier and more cost effective.
Most recently, ST Engineering iDirect showcased the full
integration of satellite into the 5G network together with Hellas
Sat. We’ve also been participating in a number of industry
initiatives around orchestration through the MEF,
standardizations of IETF, and other industry initiatives in Linux
foundation and ONAP. In addition to these industry standards
and industry initiatives work, we’ve also been participating in a
number of 5G consortiums and other grant-based projects of
the European Space Agency (ESA) and European Commission
(EC), namely SaT5G, Satis5, Edgesat and OSMOSIS.
With our partners in 2018, we were the first to successfully
demonstrate live satellite integration into 3GPP network
architectures, demonstrating the key benefits of network
slicing and SDN/NFV/MEC-enabled 5G construction testbeds.
For SaT5G, we worked with partners to integrate satellite
ground infrastructure with a commercially available 5G core
Non-Terrestrial-Network (NTN) into a live satellite network.
The integrated 5G NTN consisted of a remote terminal
connected over satellite to the 5G-enabled ST Engineering
iDirect hub, with the connection using the native satellite
radio at the physical layer. Our 5G-enabled gateway included
physical network functions for terminating the native satellite
connection, along with a satellite RAN, and a standard and
unmodified commercially available 5G core network, both of
which were virtualized.
In the ESA-sponsored working group, Satis5, ST Engineering
iDirect took part in the research and development of an end-
to-end system able to support multi-orbit operation with 5G.
We have also been involved with proof-of-concept testing for
5G content distribution leveraging edge computing, where
video content distribution technology is designed to operate
over a satellite network with 4G/5G and MEC integration –
the ESA project OSMOSIS. By leveraging efficiencies of a tightly
integrated cellular-satellite hybrid network, an enhance-duser
experience is achievable for multimedia streaming on mobile
devices while reducing network operation costs.
Over the years, we have also been an active member of the
Global Satellite Operators Association (GSOA), which is focused
on driving a number of the satellite-based interests in 5G into
the larger standards bodies as well.
7. Developing Satellite 5G Architecture
We are committed to driving the new 5G standards for satellite
networks. We’re building the principles of EPC, multi-
waveforms, edge computing and cloud-based architectures
into our platform so it is no longer a separate, standalone
network. Rather, it must become part of the multi-radio
network architecture of 5G.
To align with these standards-based technologies, we’re
adopting architecture models based on 5G core NFV and SDN
principles, and are extending our system to support more deeply
integrated systems through common APIs to link OSS/BSS
platforms with the platforms of our customers. To that end, we’re
developing proven network architectures that provide open APIs
for end-to- end network orchestration and business system
integration across multi-orbital satellite, terrestrial and mobile
networks. Working with multi-service constellations such as SES
mPOWER allows us to build our vision of a GSO and NGSO,
multi-orbit, multi-access platform to deliver next-generation
services and applications enabled by emerging 5G standards.
Additionally, we are aligning our interfaces on these MEF
carrier Ethernet protocols as common terrestrial standards to
ensure seamless integration with terrestrial networks. We
produced our 5G-enabled Intelligent Gateway (iGW) as part of
our ground infrastructure, introduced a high density hub
solution with the Intelligent hub (iHub) and deployed native
cloud-based solutions for our XIF Dialog Hub.
Our Mx-DMA return technology also fully addresses 5G use
cases, not only for very high throughput, but also IoT or M2M.
The technology abides to Self-Organizing Networks (SON)
rules with automatic configuration, optimization, and
diagnostic functionality.
On the remote side, we ensure that our solutions are 5G
enabled and that we are continuously adding new capabilities
in order to optimize 5G processing, building and expanding on
our already developed solutions for multiple market verticals
such as maritime, aero, private networks, emergency services,
land mobility and IoT.

last several years, we have been at the forefront of 5G exploration and development. We are not only a strong 5G
pioneer today; we are one armed with proven 5G-enabled innovation and implementation successes. We will be
