🚀 New Publication! Pleased to share the article “Non-Terrestrial Networks for Next-Generation Defense Scenarios: KPIs and Experimental Validation,” published in MDPI Telecom.

🛰️ The integration of 5G and LEO satellite networks was explored as a means of supporting resilient defense communications. Military communication requirements and KPIs were reviewed, alongside the experimental evaluation of a satellite backhaul architecture combining multiple LEO links and VPN tunneling, with a focus on security, resilience, and high-throughput connectivity.

🤝 Many thanks to my coauthors Stefanos Plastras (University of the Aegean, NCSR “Demokritos”), Panagiotis PAPAKANELLOS , (Hellenic Air Force Academy), George Lyberopoulos (Telekom), and Dimitrios Skoutas (University of the Aegean) for their contributions and excellent collaboration!
