ETHER Final Showcase March 24 @ 14:00 – Demonstrating Sustainable 3D Terrestrial–Non-Terrestrial Networks for Future 6G Services

Join us for the ETHER Final Showcase Webinar, the concluding event of over than three years’ Horizon Europe project reshaping future connectivity through the integration of terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks into a unified, sustainable 3D Radio Access Network (RAN). ETHER has advanced an AI-driven, zero-touch approach to resource management and orchestration, targeting 100% coverage, 99.99999% reliability, 3× higher energy efficiency, and up to 95% reduction in Total Cost of Ownership compared to today’s terrestrial-only infrastructures. Built on a fully programmable, multi-layered edge-computing and caching architecture, ETHER has delivered key innovations such as direct handheld device access, unified waveform design, flexible satellite payloads, and seamless vertical handovers across terrestrial, aerial, and space platforms, and a zero-touch network management and orchestration framework.

The webinar will showcase live demonstrations of three flagship use cases:

1. Global service provisioning for delay-tolerant IoT applications,
2. Direct handheld device access enabled by TN–NTN vertical handovers, and
3. Persistent connectivity for safety-critical airspace operations, highlighting impact across IoT, mobility, rural connectivity, aviation, and emergency response.

ETHER’s final showcase offers a unique opportunity to explore the project’s validated solutions and their role in enabling scalable, energy- and cost-efficient 6G networks that bridge the digital divide and drive future investment in NTN integration.
