Keysight Technologies, Inc., together with Sateliot, has been named a winner of the fifth annual European Space Agency(ESA) and GSMA Foundry Innovation Challenge for its joint project, “Blockchain-enabled anomaly detection end‑to‑end solution for 5G Non‑Terrestrial Networks.”
The award, presented at Mobile World Congress 2026, Barcelona, recognizes early-stage 6G innovation, supporting 6G development and non-terrestrial network(NTN) integration.
The funding opportunity – provided by ESA Member States – was made possible through ESA’s Space for 5G/6G and Sustainable Connectivity line, within the programme of Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems(ARTES).
The challenge was introduced last year and focused on fostering 6G innovation, with a particular emphasis on satellite-terrestrial convergence in line with the latest recommendations from the 3rd Generation Partnership Project(3GPP).
The program’s objective is to advance innovation and validate technical solutions that integrate satellite systems with terrestrial networks to enable ubiquitous connectivity and high-performance communications.
The Keysight and Sateliot proposal integrates blockchain, artificial intelligence, and machine learning with digital calibration certificates to enable traceable calibration from satellite manufacturing through to network operation.
By enabling greater satellite autonomy, the joint solution is designed to optimize network reliability, maximize uptime, and enable rapid detection and response to performance issues.
By ensuring device trust, network integrity, and real‑time anomaly detection across hybrid space-terrestrial segments, the joint project is designed to help operators and enterprises prepare for commercial NTN deployments.
The project also aligns with ESA’s ARTES programme, as it looks to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness.
“Through these challenges, ESA aims to accelerate technologies that give Europe an edge. Keysight and Sateliot demonstrate exactly this with a solution that tackles a critical need for future 5G and 6G networks by strengthening trust in network performance, improving resilience, and supporting the smooth integration of satellite and terrestrial systems.” said Antonio Franchi, Head of the Space for 5G/6G & Sustainable Connectivity programme at the ESA.
“This recognition from the European Space Agency and the GSMA Foundry underscores the importance of trust, assurance, and autonomy as NTNs scale toward commercial readiness. Our collaboration with Sateliot demonstrates how advanced test, measurement, and AI‑driven analytics can bring unprecedented visibility into hybrid space-terrestrial networks,” said Eric Taylor, Vice President, Aerospace, Defense and Government Solutions at Keysight.
“By enabling verifiable performance and real‑time anomaly detection, we are helping operators accelerate the deployment of resilient, standards‑based NTN services worldwide.”
