Keysight Technologies, in partnership with Sateliot, launched a three-year ESA-funded program to develop a blockchain-enabled anomaly detection framework for 5G non-terrestrial networks. The initiative combines blockchain-anchored trust with AI and machine learning, using Keysight’s test, measurement and calibration expertise alongside Sateliot’s satellite integration capabilities.
The project will explore digital calibration certificates, AI-driven assurance and secure telemetry across the full NTN lifecycle, from satellite manufacturing and validation to in-orbit operation. Development will progress from laboratory research and prototyping to an in-orbit demonstration under ESA’s Space for 5G/6G & Sustainable Connectivity ARTES program. The partners will also examine methods for detecting spoofing, tampering and other anomalies across hybrid space-terrestrial networks.
For operators and IoT providers, the framework could improve data integrity, service reliability and automated threat detection as satellite constellations expand. The program reflects growing demand for trusted infrastructure that can support secure 5G deployments and future 6G connectivity.
