5G space is getting excited by another new domain - that's 5G NTN (Non Terrestrial Network). The basic idea of 5G NTN is to deliver 5G/NR service via satellite or other airborne platform (like Google Balloons or Project Loon).
Earlier I wrote regarding the competition between 5G and satellite broadband will be inevitable. But they can synergize to create an efficient and much-desired fusion of terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks to bring internet connectivity in the country as well as globally.
5G-NR is known for the enhanced speed, higher network capacity, lower latency, improved reliability and coverage. With 5G-NR there are new and innovative uses with IoT - like smart cities, remote industrial automation, artificial intelligence and augmented reality, revolutionizing industries, and empowering novel applications.
