Master thesis on Next-Gen Telecom Satellites with on-board 5G/6G gNodeB (NTN)

Job description

Job Description:

Airbus Defence and Space is looking for a

Master Student in the field of Next-Gen Telecom Satellites with on-board 5G/6G gNodeB (NTN)(d/f/m)

You are looking for a master thesis and want to get to know the work of a job title? Then apply now! We look forward to you supporting us in our Telecom & Navigation Processing Germany department as a Master Student (d/f/m)!

5G is giving the convergence of terrestrial and satellite-based networks a major boost. Under the keyword "Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)", satellites are being consistently integrated into the mobile communications standard for the first time, subsequently paving the way for a global and dense communication network in the future 6G generation. Both sides benefit from this: not only does it mean terrestrial cellular networks can count on satellite support to overcome any range limitations, it also gives the satellite industry the opportunity to expand its offering of services far beyond the provision of satellite TV and internet. For example, the automotive industry and the Internet of Things benefit from seamless connectivity with NTN.
