❓ Frequently Asked Questions (Technical Advisory & Consulting)
What technical areas does Dr. Jorge Querol cover as an independent consultant? ▼
Dr. Jorge Querol provides senior technical advisory across four core domains: (1) 3GPP 5G/6G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) & Satellite Communications (LEO/MEO/GEO link budgets, Direct-to-Device connectivity, TDD/FDD frame design, multi-orbit handovers), (2) GNSS Anti-Jamming & RF Interference Mitigation (patented pre-correlation excision, spoofing resilience, microwave radiometry protection), (3) Onboard AI & SDR Prototyping (OpenAirInterface 5G NR NTN testbeds, COTS neuromorphic/NPU space processors, USRP/FPGA transceivers), and (4) R&D Strategy & Proposal Engineering for ESA ARTES, Horizon Europe, and defense programs.
How can space agencies, satellite operators, or startups engage Dr. Querol? ▼
Engagements are structured under Luxembourg law via three flexible models: Fractional Technical Advisory / Retainer (ongoing monthly architectural review and R&D mentorship), Project-Based Deliverable Execution (fixed-scope technical studies, PHY/MAC simulations, link budget tools, or SDR architecture designs), and Short-Term Technical Audits & Executive Workshops (1-to-3 day deep-dive technical due diligence for investors, primes, and engineering teams).
Can industry partners also collaborate directly with the 6GSPACE Lab at SnT (University of Luxembourg)? ▼
Yes. In addition to independent consulting, Dr. Querol leads the 6GSPACE Lab (40+ researchers) at SnT, University of Luxembourg, which conducts collaborative industrial R&D partnerships, ESA ARTES contracts, Horizon Europe consortia, and FNR BRIDGES/Industrial Fellowship projects with over €9.8M in competitive funding alongside partners such as SES, OQ Technology, Deutsche Telekom, and LuxSpace.
