ESA has awarded an €800,000 NAVISP (Navigation, Innovation and Support Program) contract to Celestia UK for the development of an innovative PNT solution, based on LEO satellite constellations for 5G networks and applications. The project will use LEO satellite signals to provide a resilient position and time reference for 5G networks, boosting the reliability and performance of GNSS signals. The project will be carried out in partnership with Scotland’s Heriot-Watt University and The Scotland 5G Center. The organization, through the S5GConnect Program, is currently providing businesses access to 5G services through a national network of innovation hubs.
