SaT5G: Edge delivery & offload via satellite multicast

Home » SaT5G: Edge delivery & offload via satellite multicast

This SaT5G demonstration centres on providing efficient multicast/broadcast delivery to network edges for content such as live broadcasts, ad-hoc broadcast/multicast streams, group communications, MEC VNF update distribution. The demonstration addresses digital divide resorption for public event management. 

In terms of 5G functionalities, SaT5G investigates: 

  • Satellite access for self-backhaul.
  • Support of Network slicing, SDN/NFV, Edge computing, Network Management and orchestration.
  • Traffic steering between unicast and multicast resources. 
  • Secure multicast delivery with caching.
  • Scheduled prefetching and dynamic real time video demos.
  • Demo as edge MEC as part of MNO delivery to 5G network and for  caching at a regional basis for backhaul or local at individual cells.
