6G-SKY - international project meeting on network architectures of the future
Flying vehicles will sooner or later be a permanent part of the aerospace industry due to technological advances. A central issue here is connectivity. This is where the 6G for Connected Sky (6G-SKY) project comes in: The aim is to develop reliable and robust connectivity for users in the air and on the ground - via a flexible and adaptive network architecture that uses diverse technologies such as satellites and direct air-to-ground communication.
The project has been running since May 2022 - time to share the first interim results: From 30 to 31 March 2023, the project partners from Sweden, Austria, Hungary and Germany met at the Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm. A highlight for the more than 40 participants was the visit to the project partner Skysense. The company specialises in the topic of security in airspace and offered insights into concrete use cases, such as technical systems for detecting unauthorised drones.
The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK). The consortium is made up of:
Germany: Airbus Defence and Space GmbH, Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, Ericsson Antenna Technology (EAG), Deutsche Telekom, Motius, Meshmerize GmbH.
Sweden: Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Ericsson AB (EAB), Skysense AB, Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS), SAS
Austria: Lakeside Labs, RED Bernard, Twins
Hungary: Ericsson Hungary, AITIA
