Satellite ... and the

5G Journey

The Internet in Space

November 3rd - 2020

The distribution of 5G services, through the direct integration of 5G enabled satellites, with terrestrial networks, is a game changer... the importance of which is hard to over-estimate. This hybrid mix promises high speed internet connectivity on land, in the air and at sea, for cars, trucks, trains, vessels, aircraft and unmanned air and surface vehicles, in rural, remote and other such hard-to-reach locations.
