Keysight to Develop Secure Blockchain Solutions for 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks

Keysight Technologies has been selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) to lead a three-year program aimed at developing secure, blockchain-enabled anomaly detection for 5G non-terrestrial networks. This initiative, in collaboration with Sateliot, addresses challenges in satellite communication constellations, including quality of service and operational security. The project will explore the application of blockchain, artificial intelligence, and machine learning throughout the lifecycle of non-terrestrial networks, from manufacturing to in-orbit operations. The program is part of ESA’s ARTES 5G Strategic Product Line and aims to ensure secure integration of space-based and terrestrial networks. The initiative is crucial as global deployments of non-terrestrial networks accelerate, emphasizing the need for trusted data and secure communications.

Key Points: • Keysight leads a three-year ESA program for blockchain-enabled 5G security. • The initiative addresses challenges in satellite communication and operational security. • Collaboration with Sateliot aims to enhance anomaly detection and network trust.
