Amidst this evolution of 3G, 4G, and 5G wireless technologies, the need for non-terrestrial networks (NTN) has become increasingly apparent. While terrestrial networks have significantly advanced, they face limitations in reaching remote or challenging terrains. NTNs, including satellite constellations and high-altitude platforms, are crucial in extending connectivity beyond terrestrial boundaries. Non-terrestrial networks are wireless communication systems that operate above the earth’s surface. They leverage satellites in low-earth orbit (LEO), medium-earth orbit (MEO), geostationary orbit (GEO), high-altitude platforms (HAPS), and drones to provide seamless coverage to remote areas without traditional networks. As we stand on the cusp of the 5G era, the relationship between 5G and NTNs holds the promise of transforming global connectivity, enabling seamless communication in previously inaccessible areas, and advancing the capabilities of 5G networks.
