Challenge: Connectivity on-board of Ferry Vessels has always been a challenge, mainly due to the satellite bandwidth bottleneck, causing limited and expensive IT and telecom services. Recent technologies like High Throughput Satellites and 5G allow to use in a more efficient way the available resources, enabling new classes of services and more affordable communications, for…
Objectives: Italy is one of the richest countries in the World by number of cultural sites per square kilometre; however, geo-morphological, weather related and anthropogenic phenomena pose a constant threat to the structural integrity, and conservation status of the historic monuments and cultural sites. This put at risk the fruition and related economic exploitation of…
Objectives: The ANChOR objectives were focused on the design and implementation of an integrated infrastructure for 5G Satellite-Terrestrial networks, with data-driven orchestration techniques applied to the optimization of the multi-domain network. The project aimed to investigate satellite-based extensions to the 5G architecture and use cases, targeting eMBB and mMTC services, analyzing new business models and…
Objectives: The objective of the proposed service, enabled by the satellite TLC, is related to the voice communications in an isolated environment, as a remote area, a ship or an airplane. The service allows end users to continue using their smartphone with their mobile phone number without modifying their user experience in any way and…
Objectives: Preliminary analysis have shown that the NB-IoT standard can be used by satellite systems in non-geostationary orbits under certain constraints. However, to enable the integration of user sensors employing this technology, it is necessary to develop an on-board evolved node B (eNB) capable of using a standard not originally conceived for satellite communications with…
Objectives: In the past three years, 5G was born. The principal arena where this effort has been worldwide coordinated is the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) that has recently standardized its release 15 containing the first phase of 5G, dubbed as New Radio (NR) by 3GPP. The first phase addressed mainly the so called eMBB…
Objectives: The main goal of FULLVIEW-SAT is to increase the current Minor League customer base and to open a new market for the Premier League, proving a new mode to display the football match through an immersive 360 reality experience. Benefits The use of satellite is key in the Minor League context because it…
Objectives: The high-level project objective was to provide a tailored architectural and technological solution for performance optimization of end-to-end IP-based services, when a satellite component is present in the communication path. Target scenarios are compliant to upcoming 5G use-cases. VIBeS project outcomes allow to review the role of Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) agents, redesigned as…
Objectives: Regarding the maritime business sector, the Contractor has dealt with different opportunities and activities that could greatly benefit from evolutionary scenarios characterized by the presence of innovative telecommunication solutions like VDES. Features Main needs ofMaritime and Port authorities, sea ports, fishing operators, ecc. are safety, communications, ecc. The two selected VDES-based services concern…
Objectives: The Internet is becoming of paramount importance for society and for the economy. The Internet market is continuously booming and expanding. Satellite is playing a key role in the diffusion of the internet. There is a gap to be covered where there is a (total) digital divide and satellite can play a key role…
