Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)
Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) is a wireless communication system that uses satellites (LEO, MEO, GEO), high-altitude platforms, and drones to extend connectivity beyond terrestrial infrastructure.
Standardized within the 3GPP 5G ecosystem (starting with Release 17), NTN enables direct satellite-to-device communication, providing seamless global coverage. It supports mobile broadband, IoT expansion, and connectivity across aviation, maritime, and remote regions.
NTN also plays a critical role in driving space commercialization and expanding global connectivity, with the market expected to surpass $23 billion by 2028.
IoT-NTN
IoT over NTN combines the Internet of Things (IoT) with Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) such as satellites and high-altitude platforms (HAPS), providing reliable connectivity for devices anywhere in the world. It addresses the limitations of terrestrial networks, enabling IoT devices in remote areas, oceans, mountains, and disaster zones to communicate seamlessly. IoT-NTN supports direct device communication or gateway-assisted transmission to the cloud, enabling real-time monitoring, data analysis, and remote control.
