Will 5G NTN Deliver on the Promised Use Cases?

We have quite a few NTN presentations and webinars embedded in our blogs (see related posts 👇). Here is another one from Telit Cinterion. Quoting from the webinar preview : We will show how existing use cases benefit from NTN because of an additional communication path that increases reliability and application robustness. This next-generation satellite technology can enhance cellular network performance in challenging environments. These include scenarios with high mobility or limited terrestrial coverage.  NTN’s phased rollout will be key to our discussion. We will navigate the standardization stages that paved the way for its implementation.   The journey began with an initial study and progressed into 3GPP Release (Rel) 17 standardization activities. During this phase, existing standards were enhanced to enable the first stage of NTN operation in which the satellite acts as a relay. It allows the utilization of adapted cellular device hardware optimized for this technology.  The r
