This exciting event will bring together experts and enthusiasts from the field of Non-Terrestrial Networks, to discuss the latest advancements and innovations.
The demand for mobility, ubiquitous coverage and resilience has driven communications in 5G and 6G to include NTN. The latter includes multi orbit satellites, High Altitude Platforms (HAPs) and Aerial devices in the lower troposphere. In 5G and 5G advanced we are already seeing integrated service delivery via cellular and satellite direct to commercial mobile phones heralding a convergence of these sectors. This is being enabled by new 3GPP NTN 5G standards helping to create the new ecosystem. The 5G advanced era will herald large constellations of LEO satellites with on board processing including network functions previously only terrestrial located but now offering direct phone to phone connections without the need for terrestrial infrastructure. As we now move into the period of defining a completely new and unified 6G system, NTN will play a key role in proving coverage and resilience via an interconnected 3D space network converged with terrestrial networks.
