Is Satellite Direct to Handset Really Dead? Here are the Real Opportunities for 5G NTN

Recent articles have suggested that the dream of direct to unmodified handset from satellite may be more of a nightmare. The technology faces a combination of challenges including a questionable business case, regulatory hurdles and technical difficulties, which has generated nervousness with investors and CTOs alike.

Should they be worried? Perhaps there is a more sensible approach using standards based 5G NTN (non-terrestrial networks) that avoids these challenges and creates an environment that enables a win-win for Satellite Operators, Mobile Network Operators and the rest of the ecosystem as we head for convergence?

In this webinar, Peter Kibutu, TTP's Advanced Technology Lead, NTNs, will present the real opportunities for the future and how they can be practically implemented.
