Fraunhofer IIS has developed a split method to integrate satellites of different classes into the 5G network. This method divides a 5G base station into two parts, with only part of the signal processing happening in space, while the other remains on the ground. This approach allows satellites to contribute to communication while minimizing computational, energy, and resource use.

The method is part of the TRANTOR project, which aims to prepare for the transition from 5G to 6G satellite communication. It is expected to lead to a dense and universally available communication network with high resilience in emergency situations.
