What is going on here???? #remotecomms #telecoms #enterprisemobility These smart-asses are checking out the Telestar-Link Nomadic, in action in #northernterritory, Australia. The Telestar-Link Nomadic is a state-of-the-art portable networking system, seamlessly integrating Starlink, 5G, and 4G LTE technologies. It is configured with 5G/4G LTE modems, CBRS Band 48, and Band 14 FirstNet. Telestar-Link Nomadic provides real failure-resistant, disaster-tolerant mobile communications for your critical units, with multiple air-gapped, high-bandwidth, low-latency comms channels across multi-band cellular and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems, all in a single rugged pack. With critical operations, communications reliability and failover is everything. Telestar-Link Nomadic can make sure you don't get your comms priorities ass-backwards. 🫏 #MMS #5G #Starlink #rugged

🆕 #TMTnews 🛰 As reported by Bloomberg News, Starlink (SpaceX's satellite constellation developed to provide connectivity solution at a global scale), has clashed with Italian leading telecom operatori TIM. Elon Musk accuses TIM of hindering the introduction of high-speed internet in the country, jeopardizing services in Southern Europe and North Africa. Starlink claims that TIM has not complied with spectrum data sharing regulations, while TIM rejects the accusations, calling them a partial reconstruction of the facts. The different arguments will now be presented and evaluated by Agcom, the Italian competition authority responsible for the telecommunications market. The Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy has also offered to mediate in order to find a solution that benefits both technologies. The confrontation between the two companies will have significant implications in the telecommunications sector. Still, the dispute shows how Starlink is increasing its presence globally at a rapid pace impacting market dynamics in the already fragile telecom sector. Updates to follow once the situation changes. #Starlink #Tim #ElonMusk #SpaceX #Satelliteconnectivity #DTC https://lnkd.in/e2XVRNaJ

Still relatively early days here and with some technical challenges that need to be overcome, but an interesting development, nonetheless. The direct to satellite technology does have some useful use cases with many saying this will be the end of the “dead coverage zones” in rural areas as well as enabling “always on” access to emergency services. I wonder what impact this will have on the traditional GSM operator revenue in years to come.

This is quite striking: 2.7 *billion* people are still offline. My colleague Vivek Suresh Prasad has just put out a report for Analysys Mason looking at where the connectivity opportunity is for satellite broadband services. Technological advances, falling prices and new business models and partnerships can enable satcom players to overcome barriers and succeed in the backhaul and consumer broadband markets. However, pricing can have a significant impact on service adoption, particularly in underserved and remote areas. Indeed, many potential users in these areas may remain unconnected if prices are too high. Cost-effective solutions are essential for the broad adoption of wireless backhaul applications, where satellite is often the only viable option in remote and challenging environments. Telecoms operators and ISPs are more likely to integrate satellite connectivity if doing so aligns with their budget constraints. New business models such as infrastructure as a service are driving adoption.

Over the past two years, the wireless telco-satellite market has seen significant industry-wide growth, driven by the integration of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) in 5G New Radio as part of 3GPP Release 17. GSMA Intelligence reports that 91 network operators, representing about 5 billion global connections (60% of the total mobile market), have partnered with satellite operators. Although the regulatory landscape and policy will influence the commercial launch of these services in various regions, the primary objective is to achieve ubiquitous connectivity through a blend of terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks. https://lnkd.in/eQHn2un9 #ICRS #NTN #3GPP #SATCELLROAMING #GMPCS #SatIoT #LEOSAT #LEOops #satOSS #satBSS #satIMS #satIPX #multiorbit #optical #OiSL #GroundSystems #xGCore #aiRAN #aiSAT #aiMobile #aiOPS

Integrating satellite technology, like Starlink, with 4G and 5G networks is transforming the landscape of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA). Our blog dives into how combining low-latency satellite and cellular networks addresses challenges in remote or hard-to-connect areas. It highlights the importance of flexibility and resilience, ensuring businesses maintain consistent, high-speed internet even in difficult environments. For an in-depth look at how these technologies can optimise your network strategies, read the full blog here. https://lnkd.in/esUHWxCK #FWA #FixedWirelessAccess #Satellite #Starlink #CellularConectivity #RemoteConnectivity

The wireless telco-satellite market is soaring! 🚀 With 5G New Radio integrating Non-Territorial Networks

Text messages will likely be the most data-heavy communications carried by most satellite constellations, over 4G, 5G or 6G. https://ow.ly/6EhS50U0tTO #6G #5G #4G #Satellite #D2Cnetworks

The FCC has approved #Starlink's plan to provide #cellular service via #satellites, enhancing #mobileconnectivity in underserved areas. However, certain limitations remain, such as restrictions on emission power to prevent interference with existing networks. This development is part of a broader initiative to eliminate #cellulardeadzones and improve #emergencycommunications. While #texting services are expected to launch soon, full #voice and #data capabilities are anticipated in 2025. https://hubs.ly/Q02ZKhpS0
