JET is delivering world-first "5G connectivity at sea" through the deployment of high-bandwidth 5G floating-buoy systems, offering increased connectivity and communication capabilities throughout the marine sector, supporting the UK's priorities of critical national infrastructure for future wireless non-terrestrial network (MNTN), national security and 'net zero' ambitions. To date, JET has successfully demonstrated the detection/transition of 5G signals with our innovative 5G floating-buoy systems at sea using a novel high-gain-beamforming & low-gain integrated-antenna solution. However, their operations are unstable, and our insight understanding of how antenna beams and link performance are formed is limited, especially in real-world, harsh operating environments.JET now urgently needs support on the major problem we now face, having an inability in attaining rigorous validations of our 5G systems (e.g., its beamforming and link performance) to ensure reliably in real-world harsh operating environments at sea, alongside simulations to develop an insight understanding on how beamforming's operation may be optimised to ensure reliable link. This problem must be overcome at this stage of development, to avoid having to deploy antennas with customers and finding issues.To tackle this problem, this project aims to establish and validate our novel fronthaul and backhaul integrated antenna systems. Focus will be given to formulating and validating the overall validity of our antenna systems, allowing for technology optimisation and refinement of broadcast antennas to guarantee the best possible connections for users, with minimum possible interference released into the radio-environment and additional antennas used. Throughout the project NPL will provide consultancy, as well as conducting a series of beam-pattern and wireless link evaluations of antenna systems, de-risking future development of a clear solution to JET current long-running technical problem.In the short-term this project enables JET to hire an additional RF engineer, who will work alongside our team to increase our expertise. We estimate the long-term value of the JET solution will be greater than £412-million over the next 10 years, based on our missed network sale opportunities. The revenues we anticipate within our chosen and extended markets will be further increased through additional service provision to a range of maritime markets, facilitating increased safety, sustainability and smart operations. This project further contributes to the overall 5G connectivity and commercial developments within the offshore environment. The development and validation of our antenna systems delivers a solution which positively improves resilience within the UK, whilst also supporting Net-Zero ambitions and Levelling-Up Agendas.

JET通过部署高带宽5G浮动式企业系统提供世界上首要的“海上5G连接性”，从而在整个海洋领域提供了提高的连接性和沟通能力，从而支持英国对未来的无线无线非事故网络（MNTN），国家安全和国家安全和net net net net net Ambitions的关键国家基础设施的优先权。迄今为止，JET已成功证明了使用新型的高增益灯 - 孔形成和低增益的集成式 - 安特纳溶液在海上使用我们创新的5G浮动式搭建系统的5G信号的检测/过渡。但是，它们的操作是不稳定的，并且我们对天线束和链接性能的形成如何受到限制，尤其是在现实世界中，harmsh操作环境中，201雷克斯现在紧急需要支持我们现在面临的主要问题，无法实现对5G系统的严格验证，以确保对环境的实现，以确保在现实中的范围内的范围，并在现实中遇到可靠的范围，并与现实中的相关范围，并与现实相关范围，并且可以在现实中进行连接，从而相互启动，与现实相关范围，并与之相关范围。如何优化Beam Forming的操作以确保可靠的链接。在此开发阶段必须克服这个问题，以避免必须与客户部署天线并发现问题。要解决此问题，该项目旨在建立和验证我们的新颖的Fronthaul和Backhaul集成的天线系统。将重点放在制定和验证天线系统的整体有效性，从而使广播天线的技术优化和完善，以确保用户的最佳连接，最小可能的干扰释放到无线电环境中，并使用其他天线。通过该项目，NPL将提供便利性，并进行一系列天线系统的横梁图案和无线链接评估，从而使未来的未来开发用于JET当前长期长期运行的技术问题的清晰解决方案。在短期内，该项目使Jet能够聘请一名RF工程师，他们将与我们的团队一起工作以增加我们的专业知识。我们估计，根据我们错过的网络销售机会，在未来10年内，JET解决方案的长期价值将超过4.12亿英镑。我们期望在所选市场和扩展市场中预期的揭示将通过为一系列海上市场提供的额外服务提供进一步增加，从而促进安全，可持续性和智能运营的提高。该项目进一步有助于离岸环境中的整体5G连通性和商业发展。我们的天线系统的开发和验证提供了一种解决方案，从而积极地提高了英国的弹性，同时还支持净零野心和左右议程。
