5G Americas has recently introduced a new report titled ‘Update on 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks‘. This report provides an update on current developments in the growth of partnerships and technologies relating to non-terrestrial network integration with 5G networks, building on a previous whitepaper on this subject.

Satellites are rapidly gaining prominence in the world of cellular communication. However, the full extent of their potential to complement terrestrial networks as well as phone services and broadband is still unclear. Alongside this, the cost for satellite service plans tends to be higher because of the need to purchase expensive equipment and terminals. Although uses for satellites are currently limited, this evolving industry is taking its first step toward long-term growth, similarly to the evolution of terrestrial networks. “The emerging role of satellites in expanding cellular networks”

The European Space Agency (ESA) and GSMA Foundry have announced a series of new initiatives – including up to €15 million in funding opportunities – to help the mobile and satellite industries collaborate on developing new, innovative satellite and terrestrial networks technologies. “ESA and GSMA launch initiatives to fuse satellite and mobile networks”

Filtronic, a global provider of mmWave and high-frequency communication solutions, has announced launch of Hercules II E-band transceiver, a turnkey solution for ultra-high power, high-capacity E-band links. The Hercules II combines Filtronic’s Morpheus II transceiver and either a Cerus 4 or 8 SSPA (solid state power amplifier) module, modernising high-speed backhaul networks with its performance and versatility.

VIAVI Solutions Inc. has announced availability of base station and end-to-end testing supporting non-terrestrial networks (NTN) and high altitude platforms (HAPs). Wireless technologies are increasingly augmenting traditional terrestrial communication networks, with satellite communications helping to provide near-complete coverage. The VIAVI TM500 and TeraVM test platforms validate the conformance, performance of gNodeBs and entire networks under service link conditions of NTN and HAPs networks.
