Non-Terrestrial Networking

Hello, I'm Saba Al-Rubaye, a Professor of Telecommunications and Autonomous Systems at Cranfield University's School of Aerospace, Transport, and Manufacturing. I also lead research and development at the Digital Aviation Research and Technology Centre, focusing on advancing 6G technology, digital twin and air mobility solutions.

GSMA Intelligence begins tracking NTN developments as satellite and telecom converge

The company is deploying the first 5G-IoT satellite constellation and has secured €200 million in contracts. 

The launch aboard a Falcon 9 rocket will take place from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. 

50 operators in 37 countries and territories planning satellite services, with 10 operators already commercially launched

UKTIN spoke to Barry Evans, Chair of UKTIN’s NTN Expert Working Group to learn more about its Future Capability Paper, which was published today. You can find more information on the future capability paper series here.

UKTIN spoke to Tim Hatt, Head of Research at GSMA - a non-profit industry organisation that represents the interests of mobile network operators worldwide - to learn more about NTN, discussing his trend research and reports. 

NTN has come a long way: there are currently around 1,000 active organisations in the UK and visitors to Barcelona next month can expect to see a plethora of companies at MWC.

Hi, I’m Rob Maunder, the CTO of AccelerComm, a spinout company that I founded in 2016.

By connecting industry and academia, the Satellite Applications Catapult gets new research off the ground and into the market more quickly. UKTIN speaks to  Paul Febvre, CTO to learn more.

Hi, I’m Peter Kibutu. I lead the 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks activities at TTP, a product and technology consultancy working at the intersection of science and engineering across wireless communications, healthcare, life science, clean tech and so much more.

The UK Telecoms Innovation Network (UKTIN) Non-Terrestrial Networking Expert Working Group focuses on a range of non-terrestrial network architectures and applications.

Lockheed Martin is one step away from showcasing how its 5G.MIL® capability can reach all domains around the world. In its final successful lab demonstration, the company validated that its innovative space payload is set to deliver global advanced communications capabilities from orbit.

The UK is joining forces with leading nations to strengthen coordination on telecoms security, resilience and innovation as a new global coalition is launched today (Thursday 5 October).

As UKTIN extends its innovation agenda to include a working group for telecoms standards, a call for members to apply to join and/or chair the standards leadership group opens today.
