SaT5G: 5G services through satellite backhauling in rural areas
This SaT5G demonstration is about providing broadband connectivity where it is difficult or not (yet) possible to deploy terrestrial connections to towers, for example, coverage on lakes, islands, mountains, rural areas, isolated areas or other areas that are best or only covered by satellites; across a wide geographic region. The demonstration therefore addresses the need for rapid disaster response through digital divide resorption.
In terms of 5G functionalities, SaT5G investigates:
- Satellite Access for self-backhaul.
- Support of Network slicing, SDN/NFV, Edge computing, Network Management and orchestration.
- E2E demo in a 5G test Bed with satellite terminal and gateway virtualised and connected to the 5G core network.
- Multi tenancy (single infra being shared between multiple virtual network operators).
