Future telecoms are essential for reliable high-speed communication links between Earth and space assets, providing real-time data transmission, remote operations, and coordination of space missions. Advanced telecoms networks will also enable global internet coverage, secure communications, and support for lunar and Martian missions, enhancing the quality of life and economic opportunities on Earth.

Increasing Convergence with AI and Quantum Technologies

This represents a pivotal advancement. Embracing this convergence is essential to fully realise the transformative benefits these technologies offer.

Extraterrestrial Comms & Infrastructure

Supporting infrastructure for prolonged exploration and habitation on the lunar surface is critical, enhancing efficiency and reliability.

Global Ubiquitous Connectivity

Achieved through the advent of 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks, this will drive consolidation within the telecommunications industry by merging various networks into a single, cohesive ecosystem.

Enhanced Resilience and Reduced Latencies

Enhancing resilience and reducing latencies for data collection and delivery is crucial, ensuring highly responsive data transmission and improved overall system performance.

Mesh Network Gateways

These provide automation and optimisation of traffic through satcom and mesh networks.

On-Orbit Mesh Network Gateways

Establishing on-orbit mesh network gateways will facilitate the interconnection of multiple routing methods, such as Space Data Association (SDA) networks to SatCom systems.
