The ground segment is rapidly adapting to position itself for future growth and success by unlocking the opportunities that new satellite constellations and software-defined networks will bring.
New Ground promotes the empowerment and development of the ground technology and services that will enable the satellite industry to harness the promise of New Space and the move toward a 5G future in multi-orbit, multi-access environment.
Virtualization is one of the key technology enablers that will allow the ground segment to move towards a fully integrated, end-to-end, cloud-based service delivery. It’s based on standards and opensource, bringing improved scale, performance and security. It will reduce overall operational complexity enabling a fully digitalized ground network that can integrate within the telecom 5G fabric.
