The added value of satellite in the 5G technology mix is becoming increasingly evident, especially in areas that lack coverage and for mission-critical communications and other applications that require reliable coverage and resiliency.

Rohde & Schwarz and MediaTek have teamed up to demonstrate a 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) new radio (NR) connection based on the latest 3GPP Release 17 specifications.

The MSE innovative system, provides a wide spectrum of services, including emergency calls, voice, fax, messaging, data, and additional functionalities.

After demonstrating 100 Gbps optical links between its prototype satellites, Project Kuiper will include laser links on every satellite in its constellation to form a mesh network in space.

Sharing the spotlight was the BF-TR925, a vehicular and manpack repeater that provides on-site communication while also connecting remotely via IP or satellite

Hytera along with Teltronic, HMF Smart Solutions, and Norsat & Sinclair, brought its one-stop PMR solution, convergence-native solution of PMR and LTE, and satellite communications solution to the 15th CHINA TRANSPO.

SES has completed the successful in-orbit deployment of five of the six new satellites as part of a broader FCC program to clear a portion of C-band spectrum to enable wireless operators to deploy 5G services across the contiguous U.S.

Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), announced availability of Hughes Smart Network Edge software for defense network operations.

The unique offering combines NTT’s fully managed Private 5G and Edge Compute with SES’s second-generation medium earth orbit communications system - O3b mPOWER - to provide expanded and reliable connectivity.

Satellite communication is set to play an even greater role in the future of global connectivity, particularly with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G critical communications technologies.

Activity at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 reflected a recent trend: interest in IoT has declined, while interest in private networks (and private 5G in particular) continues to grow

Over the course of a week in late July, staff from NUSTL and across S&T collaborated with several federal, state and local agencies for the 2022 Urban Operational Experimentation (OpEx).

The workshop brought together a large group of 5G experts from a number vertical industries including Automotive, Public Safety, Industry Automation, Utilities, Broadcasting, Satellites, Railways and policy makers at the EU and Member State level.
