S5LECT | SatCom and 5G Link - Edge, Cyber telecommunication

Summary
The S5LECT – SatCom and 5G Link, Edge and CybersecuriTy – project, coordinated by SNCF and developed by Railenium, GTS France (THALES), Radiolabs and CEIT, will experiment a solution for seamless handover between 5G terrestrial network, Satellite link and GSM-R communication system.

In the automotive and rail domains, vehicles are entering the era of full automation thanks to wireless sensors and communication systems shifting control functions from the human driver to computers. Railways need to increase functionalities of the existing signalling and automation systems and related design and validation processes therefore providing a more competitive, flexible, real-time, intelligent traffic management and decision support system. Those technological innovation will help Railway to answer his ambition to increase rail traffic with the future ATO and FRMCS.

The consortium will study the hybridization of terrestrial and satellite communications networks for railway critical applications. The project will last 30 months and is tailored to define and develop an innovative solution for seamless handover between terrestrial and satellite communication networks, to assess cyber-security risks and propose solutions, to propose innovative architecture for Edge computing and finally to provide a proof of concept of all the bricks developed in the project thanks to an original laboratory testing platform.

The S5LECT project will directly contribute to the development of solutions for the use of GOVSATCOM satellite communications in the railway domain. It will also contribute to the development and testing activities to deliver more reliable and robust wireless communication prototypes. This should help to enhance the testing activities and minimize time and efforts to deliver the next generation of adaptable wireless communications for all railway segments.
