All Telecom & Connectivity Services

Cloud Signals has developed a product bundle offering the transport network that connects the core net-work and the RAN (Radio Access Network) of the mobile network, services making use of the 5G stand-ards, and addressing 5G vertical markets (ubiquitous coverage, disaster relief, public safety require-ments, emergency response, remote sensor connectivity, broadcast service, etc.) as well as corresponding use cases. To support the broadest range of use cases, 5G needs to integrate within a comprehensive sys-tem of all available communication technologies, exploiting their strengths and values. Satellite networks are among the most mature communication technologies, having specific advantages in geographically distributed and dynamic networks. They provide highly efficient, effective, and expedient network deploy-ments, leveraging their intrinsic advantages in broadcasting capabilities, global coverage, reduced reliance on terrestrial infrastructure, and high security. Satellite networks are nowadays considered as part of the 5G use case deployments. Many use cases can be better and more rapidly served using an integrated 5G satellite-terrestrial network rather than relying on terrestrial-only solutions. These include providing com-munication services to remote areas and to rural and dense urban environments, like on-premises local networks, content distribution, content acquisition, highly distributed IoT networks, and private mobile and nomadic network deployments. Cloud Signals was founded by executives in the space and telecom industries and leverages the founders’ 20+ years of experience and resources to address innovative solu-tions and opportunities in satellite operations, telecommunication payloads, ESA, and EC projects, as well as the telecommunications markets in 4 continents.

The Intelligent Communications and Broadband Networks Laboratory (ICBNet) of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) conducts research and development in advanced telecommunications, distributed systems, mobile and broadband networks, cybersecurity and privacy, software and service engineering, artificial intelligence and next-generation wireless communications. More recently, its activities include efficient Edge AI, resource-constrained machine learning, 5G/6G systems and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), including radio-resource management and secure communications across integrated terrestrial and satellite infrastructures. Within the space ecosystem, ICBNet is therefore particularly relevant to satellite communications, 5G/6G–satellite integration, NTN architectures, AI-enabled onboard and edge processing, networking, cybersecurity and resilient communications.

insigh.io is revolutionizing enterprise IoT adoption through its application-agnostic technology stack that transforms fragmented IoT development into streamlined managed services. The technology addresses sector-agnostic challenges through three foundational pillars: a) Intelligent HW Layer: Modular IoT Connectors retrofit existing sensors with intelligent edge capabilities through configurable electronics and embedded SW. The devices enable plug-and-play deployment of custom sensing, control logic, and communication without HW redesigns. b) Global Connectivity Fabric: The platform ensures universal device access via hybrid terrestrial/satellite networks, maintaining operations in remote areas through low-power direct-to-satellite links. This infrastructure supports real-time data pipe-lines. c) Enterprise Cloud Orchestration: A unified management console lets organizations administer global device fleets, automate data routing to legacy systems, and implement custom analytics workflows through no-code interfaces – eliminating traditional firmware/cloud development cycles.
Proven across five verticals – precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, professional equipment optimization, waste and buildings management – the technology now expands to other domains. By abstracting technical complexity, we enable businesses to operationalize IoT strategies within weeks rather than years, shifting focus from implementation challenges to data-driven decision-making.

OQ Technology Group (OQTEC) is a new-space start-up with the mission of providing global coverage for IoT and M2M connectivity using 4G/5G standards. OQTEC is headquartered in Luxembourg and has branches in Greece, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Rwanda, and the USA. OQTEC has a diverse team comprising expertise from both the space and telecommunications worlds. OQTEC has been successful in launching multiple missions (8 satellites successfully launched and operational in orbit), proving its experience in satellite channel processing, communication IoT protocol design, and modelling for satellite payloads, using terrestrial telecommunication standard NB-IoT, mission management, platform procurement, satellite AIT, and launch aspects. OQTEC launched its own satellite demonstrator mission, MACSAT, on 2023, funded by LSA and technically managed by ESA. The satellite, currently in the LEOP, shall demonstrate NB-IoT communication via satellites. Throughout this project, OQTEC has built the necessary experience for adapting, developing, and testing standard terrestrial protocol stacks for satellite communications. This experience has also allowed OQTEC to be a registered member of ETSI and 3GPP and to have an active participation in contributing towards the standardisation of 4G/5G communications over NTNs. The company team includes 30 team members globally.

Satways Ltd. is a privately held organisation based in Athens, Greece, with annexes in Patras and Volos, and a presence in Germany. The company is developing mission-critical C3I/C4I, situational-awareness, decision-support and advanced sensing solutions for defence, public safety, civil protection, smart cities and critical infrastructure protection.

For the space domain, Satways acts primarily as a downstream and system-integration technology provider, transforming satellite-enabled services and heterogeneous sensor information into actionable operational intelligence. Its ENGAGE platform can integrate Earth Observation products, satellite communications, terrestrial and maritime sensors, unmanned platforms, field personnel and external information services into a unified Common Operational Picture supporting mission planning, incident management, alerting, resource coordination and operational decision-making.

Satways capabilities are particularly relevant to GOVSATCOM and resilient communications, Copernicus and Earth Observation exploitation, disaster and emergency management, maritime and border surveillance, critical infrastructure monitoring, multi-domain situational awareness and space-enabled defence applications. The company can also combine space-derived information with its own passive sensing technologies, including seismic sensors, Distributed Acoustic Sensing and underwater acoustic systems, enabling complementary space–air–ground–sea surveillance architectures.

Through its participation in European collaborative R&D and defence programmes, Satways is well positioned to contribute to IRIS²/GOVSATCOM-enabled services, secure and resilient mission communications, EO-based decision support, multi-sensor data fusion, AI-assisted operational awareness and downstream space applications for security and defence.

The Telecommunications & Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory (TelEMA Lab) of the Department of Electronic Engineering at the Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU) conducts research and provides specialised services in telecommunications, antennas, electromagnetic compatibility, electromagnetic radiation measurements, radio-network planning, digital signal processing and advanced optimisation methods. Its space-related expertise includes antenna design and measurements, electromagnetic modelling and electromagnetic cleanliness for space applications, with participation in projects involving the European Space Agency (ESA) and Greek technology companies. These capabilities make TelEMA Lab particularly relevant to satellite communications, RF systems, antenna technologies and the electromagnetic qualification of space hardware.
