6G-SKY
6G for Connected Sky project aims at solutions to enable reliable and robust connectivity for aerial and ground users via flexible and adaptive network architecture adopting multiple technologies such as satellite and direct air to ground communication (DA2GC). In addition, this project focuses on novel wireless network design and management schemes in 3-dimensional (3D) space including different types of flying vehicles with their unique requirements. Another focus is to provide robust, low latency and/or high-capacity communications to ground users in the rural areas without any infrastructure via non terrestrial networks (NTNs), which are already initially introduced in 5G.
The project is divided into 6 work packages.

The international consortium of Celtic-Next comprises 17 partners from
Sweden, Austria, Germany and Hungary and is led by Airbus. They
complement each other very well in the value chain of the future
6G-Sky 3D systems and cover the communication areas via terrestrial,
non-terrestrial networks, aerospace industry with LEO, GEO satellites
and High Altitude Platforms (HAPs), as well as antennas development
and software for Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM).
