The Institut Mines-T\u00e9l\u00e9com is proud to announce its partnership with Univity<\/a>, an innovative French company with a bold ambition: to create a constellation of satellites designed to support next-generation mobile telecommunications networks, including 5G and the future 6G.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A strategic project for sovereignty and innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

This project aims to build a unique space infrastructure capable of meeting growing connectivity needs, including in the most isolated areas. Thanks to a constellation of interconnected satellites, the objective is to ensure high-performance global coverage while strengthening the digital sovereignty of France and Europe<\/strong> in the face of major international players in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative is part of the France 2030 plan<\/strong>, which supports the development of strategic infrastructure and national technological sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

French President Emmanuel Macron has praised this project for its innovative nature and its contribution to France’s industrial and scientific influence<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

An active contribution from the Institut Mines-T\u00e9l\u00e9com and its researchers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Institut Mines-T\u00e9l\u00e9com is participating in this ambitious programme as an academic and scientific partner. Two researchers from T\u00e9l\u00e9com Paris<\/strong>, Philippe Martins (INFRES) and Fran\u00e7ois Baccelli (Visiting Professor, co-founder of LINCS), are contributing their expertise in key areas: optimisation of 5G and 6G networks in a space context, large-scale data traffic management, and seamless integration of terrestrial and satellite networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This partnership illustrates the driving role of the Institut Mines-T\u00e9l\u00e9com in disruptive research and innovation, serving inclusive, resilient and sustainable digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A first success in orbit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The UniSpark demonstrator was launched into orbit on 23 June 2025<\/strong> aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-14 mission from the Vandenberg launch base in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positioned in Very Low Earth Orbit, UniSpark is testing high-speed, low-latency connections based on the 5G mmWave spectrum. Initial ground and in-orbit testing has begun, with a first end-to-end connection confirming the transition to the operational phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This launch marks a milestone for the programme. Transported by D-Orbit’s ION vehicle, UniSpark is enabling the validation of the project’s first technological building blocks. Tests are ongoing, and the initial results are promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A forward-looking partnership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By joining this strategic programme, Institut Mines-T\u00e9l\u00e9com is confirming its mission : to train, innovate and support digital transformation for the benefit of society and the economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This partnership with Univity demonstrates IMT’s ability to mobilise its scientific expertise to anticipate and build the space telecommunications infrastructure of tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
