The Role of Space-based Communications in the

5G Era

The mobile industry is ushering in the 5G era, aimed at enhancing consumer mobile services and creating new opportunities for connectivity and innovation within healthcare, education, transportation, and other industries.

While the potential positive impact is enormous, realizing the vision for 5G and meeting the diverse requirements for new use cases will require new ways of designing and delivering mobile network connectivity and coverage. More than any previous mobile generation, 5G will rely on many technologies to create a network of networks, including 4G, LTE, Wi-Fi and space-based/satellite platforms.
