5G’s cosmic ring: Unlocking global connectivity with non-terrestrial networks
NTN) along with terrestrial 5G has the potential to revolutionise the telecom industry by creating a seamless network, unlocking new revenue streams for telcos, according to experts.
They added that the integration of NTN with terrestrial 5G could enable remote data services and maritime communications and will allow telecom service players to offer more reliable and high-quality services, ranging from ultra-low latency applications to high-bandwidth services.
Unlike traditional mobile towers that beam signals to mobile phones, the 5G NTN standard leverages satellites in orbit to transmit connectivity, including data, to handsets on earth. NTN is now a part of 3GPP Release-19 specifications for 5G. 3GPP is a global body which specifies telecommunications standards that are followed by telcos, chipmakers and handset providers.
Wait and watch
The demand for niche applications, like disaster management via satellite communications, will always remain as they address critical and specialised needs. However, the 5G NTN standard has the potential to unlock even more significant opportunities, particularly in the rapidly expanding internet of things (IoT) market, according to industry analysts.
