Frontier Technologies for “Space 2.0” Communications
The recent change of perspective known also as “Space 2.0” will revolutionize the paradigms of satellite and, more in general, aerospace communications. The old role of “sky repeaters” attributed to Space network nodes no longer copes with the emerging requirements of flexibility, global and ubiquitous connectivity already emerged in the 5G vision. In such a perspective, the role of satellites will be reconsidered in the framework of "softwarized", reconfigurable and sustainable network infrastructures.
The Ph.D. Summer School Frontier Technologies for “Space 2.0” Communications (third edition) organized by the University of Trento (Italy) in collaboration with the Università di Genova and the Università degli Studi di Roma "Tor Vergata" under the patronage of IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS), aims at offering an overview of the most advanced technologies concerning a renewed vision of Space connectivity for the next decades.
The School is mainly addressed to PhD students in the areas of Information and Communication Technologies, Physical Science, Earth and Space Exploration.
The event will be held in English.
