5G Americas Presents Latest Developments in 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks

BELLEVUE, Wash., (VSNewsNetwork.com) - 5G Americas, a leading advocate for 5G and beyond, has released an update on the integration of non-terrestrial network (NTN) elements into 5G networks. The recently published "Update on 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks" explores the growing synergies and technologies shaping the future of NTN and 5G, highlighting how satellites can supplement 5G networks by addressing coverage gaps and offering solutions to complex use cases that extend beyond the reach of land-based infrastructure.

Chris Pearson, President of 5G Americas, said, "Embracing the dynamic potential of 5G, the integration of non-terrestrial elements into wireless cellular networks with 3GPP standards will help unlock unprecedented coverage and open up the possibility of addressing new use cases." The report outlines the thriving market of 5G NTN, which, by mid-2023, delivers high-speed wireless access to remote regions via the use of satellites integrated with mobile networks, facilitating mobile services for ground users.

Luiz Abud, Head of Emerging Business and Partnerships at Nokia, emphasized the tremendous potential for 5G NTN advancements. "These developments within 3GPP hold tremendous potential to amplify the efficiency and capabilities of LEO satellites, presenting a wealth of opportunities for emerging 5G NTN ecosystems," he said.

The comprehensive report from 5G Americas covers various topics such as current NTN network status, 5G NTN standardization in 3GPP, potential for new services with 3GPP NTN solution, and recommendations & conclusions, among others.
