Space has an invaluable role to play in the 5G ecosystem. Telecommunication satellites can extend, enhance, and provide reliability and security to 5G, helping to deliver its promise of global, ubiquitous connectivity. Other space assets, such as Earth Observation and Satellite Navigation can be integrated with 5G technology to deliver innovative applications in a number of vertical sectors. The European Space Agency (ESA) has joined forces with the Economic Board Groningen (EBG) to support the development of applications that integrate space and 5G.
Meet Britain’s Willy Wonka powered by Space
Small-scale creators are vital to the UK's economy and some of Britain’s Willy Wonkas are concocting their recipes in London.
At Entocycle, black soldier flies are bred on spent grain from local breweries to turn them into a high-protein meal for salmon – a possible replacement for the far more land-intensive soya beans.
People might be surprised to learn that Entocycle is "powered by space", as it uses assets like robotic automation, big data analysis, life support systems and scheduling protocols that have all been derived from the space industry.
Entocycle is seeking to transform the $150 billion animal feed industry with an innovative technology that converts waste treatment costs into new revenue streams.
