Keysight Technologies, Inc. has been selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) to lead a three‑year development program focused on creating secure, blockchain‑enabled anomaly detection for 5G non‑terrestrial networks (NTN). Keysight will serve as the prime contractor, collaborating with Sateliot to support key technical development and satellite mission integration. As more satellite communication constellations are deployed, space‑based networks are becoming increasingly complex, with growing interactions between satellites, ground systems, and terrestrial 5G infrastructure. This introduces new challenges related to quality of service, anomaly management, operational security, and confidence in network behavior once deployed. Looking ahead to 6G, where non-terrestrial infrastructure will play a central role, ensuring access to trusted, verifiable data will be critical to enabling autonomous and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven network operations. The project, which benefits from the support of ESA’s Space for 5G/6G & Sustainable Connectivity program line within the Agency’s Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES), is designed to

Rambam Health Care Campus, EOS, and PTC announced collaboration to establish a Digital Implant Engineering Center at Rambam in Haifa, Israel. A dedicated team of engineers and physicians plan to work together to design, develop, and produce customized patient implants and devices using metal 3D printing. The collaboration leverages Rambam’s clinical expertise, EOS’s industrial 3D printing technology, and PTC’s advanced Creo® computer-aided design (CAD) solution. The initiative aims to enhance personalized care and improve patient outcomes by integrating advanced 3D-CAD design, validation, manufacturing, and quality within a unified framework. Patient-specific implants have been shown to provide better anatomical fit and surgical accuracy. Producing implants at point of care improves collaboration between surgeons and developers, reduces reliance on external suppliers and speeds up patient treatment. This approach also shortens procedures and recovery times, helps maintain high quality standards, and helps meet regulatory requirements for safety and effectiveness. “Personalized care represents the future of medicine, and Rambam is establishing
