he 6G-SANDBOX project is proud to welcome the ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications as a partner in advancing the future of 6G connectivity – across Europe and into space! ESA brings unique expertise and hardware, developed under its Space for 5G/6G and Sustainable Connectivity Strategic Programme Line of the ARTES programme, strengthening our large-scale testbed infrastructure.

Together, we aim to:

  • Enable real-life R&D trials for 6G software, infrastructure, and innovative technologies
  • Shared goals – both 6G-SANDBOX and 5G/6G and Sustainable Connectivity programme have a similar aim – better 6G connectivity for Europe.
  • Foster experimental cooperation among the 6G-SANDBOX consortium, ESA’s network of companies and operators and the NTN global ecosystem.

ESA and 6G-SANDBOX project are inviting research groups, companies and operators engaged in NTN R&D to participate in the upcoming trials. For details, reach out to email 5G@esa.int or go to https://6g-sandbox.eu/6g-sandbox-large-scale-ntn-experimentation/ .
