ESA ’s funding opportunities and calls


 ESA ’s funding opportunities and calls


There are many funding opportunities in support of the ARTES Telecommunications Space for 5G and 6G Strategic Programme Line:
5G/6G SPL Essential Technologies Calls address development of key advanced technology building blocks of future integrated terrestrial and satellite 5G networks. This is regulated by Work Plans which are issued annually. Links to the Work Plans provided below:

2023 Work Plan 
2021 Work Plan

5G/6G Product and Technology: this is a mix of ESA initiated calls for proposals and industry-initiated proposals, to address the development of new satellite products and services.

5G/6G Application and Services:  this is a mix of ESA initiated calls for proposals and industry initiated unsolicited proposals, issued in coordination with ESA’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) programme. Under this funding line, the 5G/6G SPL is currently funding several feasibility studies and projects that demonstrate the added value of 5G in providing ubiquitous coverage as enabler to new applications and business models in transport, smart cities, safety and security domains.

5G/6G thematic calls for proposals: this covers thematic call for proposals focusing on specific issues or market opportunities. Some examples are:

-   “Space and 5G Convergence: Transport & Logistics” looking at supporting the emergence of services relying on converged 5G terrestrial and satellite communication networks improving efficiency and environmental sustainability in the logistics sector, 
-   the Announcement of Opportunity (AO) “Space for smart and unmanned shipping”, aiming to support the development of space based downstream services and solutions relying on advanced technologies such as 5G and PNT (Positioning, Navigation and Timing) in the smart and uncrewed shipping domain.

Malaysia set to roll out second 5G wholesale network

Malaysia set to roll out second 5G wholesale network The current state of Digital Nasional Berhad's (DNB) leadership does differ from its initial structure.

This situation has raised concerns about potential governance issues and a lack of strong leadership at DNB. Some stakeholders argue that the absence of a full board and chairman could hinder the decision-making process and negatively impact the rollout of 5G infrastructure in Malaysia. The government has acknowledged these concerns and has assured the public that they are actively searching for qualified candidates to fill the vacant positions. However, there is no official...
