Keysight Technologies Inc and Sateliot have been selected by the European Space Agency to jointly develop a blockchain-based framework aimed at advancing 5G non-terrestrial networks.

This collaboration project marks an important step forward in building the next-generation satellite communication infrastructure, with its core objective being to enhance network security, scalability, and interoperability through blockchain. Non-terrestrial networks, as an integral part of the 5G and future 6G ecosystems, are expected to extend high-speed connectivity to remote areas, oceans, and the sky. The integration of blockchain technology is anticipated to provide more efficient management and trust mechanisms for these distributed networks.
