Satellite phones and devices are currently the main modes of communication with the rest of the world, when it comes to remote regions like Antarctica. But through a unique collaborative research and development effort between industry and academia, that may change, and regular mobile phones could soon be able to achieve connectivity in those kinds of areas.
The international research team from Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), SKY Perfect JSAT (JSAT), TMY Technology (TMYTEK), Rohde & Schwarz, and VIAVI Solutions have developed a new 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) satellite technology to advance mobile connectivity in remote locations.
