What happened: Eutelsat achieves satellite 5G breakthrough

Eutelsat, in collaboration with MediaTek, Airbus Defence and Space, and others, has announced a major milestone in satellite 5G connectivity. The companies successfully conducted the first 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) trial involving low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Using the OneWeb LEO fleet, a 5G user terminal was connected to a satellite link, and traffic was exchanged over the satellite link. This trial marks a key step towards the standardisation of NTN for 5G, enabling seamless integration between satellite and terrestrial networks.

The demonstration used Ku-band frequencies, typically employed in satellite communications, and involved contributions from Taiwan-based ITRI, Sharp, and Rohde & Schwarz. This success is expected to lay the groundwork for future satellite communications infrastructure and applications, driving advancements in 5G connectivity across various industries.
