On 28 March 2025, Professor Symeon Chatzinotas, Head of the Signal Processing and Communications (SIGCOM) Research Group at the University of Luxembourg, delivered an invited lecture titled “Vision & Roadmap Toward Space Communications in the 6G Era“ as part of the QAMSS (Quantum and Advanced Materials technologies for a Sustainable Society) SRI Advanced Technology Lecture Series. The event took place at the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Cambridge Graphene Centre, University of Cambridge.
As part of his presentation, Professor Chatzinotas introduced the ETHER project, highlighting its goals and advancements in the field of non-terrestrial networks (NTN). He particularly emphasized the research potential of Free Space Optics (FSO) for enabling high-speed, energy-efficient space communication systems in the context of future 6G networks.
The visit also explored potential avenues for collaboration between the University of Luxembourg and the University of Cambridge. A key focus was the synergy between the 6GSpace Lab at UniLu and Cambridge’s advanced Free Space Optics facilities, offering promising opportunities for joint experimentation and research.
This engagement reinforces ETHER’s commitment to fostering academic partnerships and advancing the frontiers of space communications technology.
