5G- Executive Summary

1. 5G is a revolution in telecommunications, a set of technologies, a set of services, a network of networks

2. Satellite can complement 5G terrestrial systems and offer important societal and economic benefits

3. Satellite offer important attributes to 5G, like security, resilience, capacity and coverage

4. ESA has set up the “Satellite for 5G Initiative” to facilitate the integration of satellite in 5G

5G is more than “just another G”

5G as the fabric of the new society and of industry 4.0

• Everybody and everything must have access to it simply in order to be a citizen of the future and a future proof industry.

• Satellite must be part of 5G, in order to realise the 5G goals and aspirations and be part of the disruption leading to future business models and to the connected society.

5G Verticals and Use Cases

Satellite integration in 5G will drive much of the

growth in these verticals

ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use ESA | 6/9/2018 | Slide 12

5G Top Vertical Markets for Satellite

• The 5G Task Force has identified key vertical markets for satellite:• Trunking and Backhaul • Mobile Communications/Transport

(Aero, Maritime and Land) • Media & Entertainment (broadband

services) • Public safety (Disaster relief and

Emergency response)
