5/6G telecommunications networks provide the opportunity for ubiquitous network coverage, enhanced data speeds, reduced latency, increased flexibility and resiliency. As a result of these potential improvements and increased network coverage new opportunities potentially arise for telecommunication operators via the provision of connectivity for applications in agriculture, forestry, mining, connected mobility, industrial IoT and edge computing to name a few. However, due to their potentially remote and rural location standard infrastructure build out via terrestrial networks, on the earths surface, would be uneconomical.However, recent technical progress has been made (via the 3GPP project for example) to evolve 5G technology to support non-terrestrial networks. Non-terrestrial networks include telecommunication provision via an ecosystem of geosynchronous satellites, low earth orbit satellites as well as high altitude platforms.Our project will develop a first of its kind "AI generative design and investment tool for Hybrid Terrestrial/Non-Terrestrial Telecommunication Network Eco-Systems" The tool will provide a "bridge" between terrestrial and non-terrestrial network operators. It will allow operators to understand where key partnerships could be mutually beneficial, where there is room in the market for new operator types as well as the required Non-Terrestrial Network architectures to support these partnerships and open up new revenue opportunities.The generative design approach will enable users of the tool to explore a host of possible options across non-terrestrial network architectures and operator types and tailor those options to best suit their preferences and constraints under a range of future connectivity demand scenarios.

5/6G电信网络提供了无处不在的网络覆盖、更高的数据速度、更短的延迟、更高的灵活性和弹性。由于这些潜在的改进和网络覆盖范围的扩大，通过为农业、林业、采矿、互联移动、工业物联网和边缘计算等领域的应用提供连接，电信运营商可能会出现新的机会。然而，由于它们潜在的偏远和农村位置，通过地面网络在地球表面建设标准基础设施将是不经济的。然而，最近已经取得了技术进步(例如通过3GPP项目)，以发展5G技术来支持非地面网络。非地面网络包括通过地球同步卫星、低轨道卫星以及高空平台的生态系统提供电信服务。我们的项目将开发首个此类工具--用于地面/非地面电信网络生态系统的人工智能生成设计和投资工具。该工具将在地面和非地面网络运营商之间提供一座“桥梁”。它将使运营商了解哪些关键的合作伙伴关系可能是互惠互利的，哪些市场上有空间容纳新的运营商类型以及支持这些合作伙伴关系和开拓新的收入机会所需的非地面网络架构。生成性设计方法将使该工具的用户能够探索非地面网络架构和运营商类型的一系列可能的选择，并根据未来一系列连接需求场景定制这些选项以最适合他们的偏好和限制。
