Qualcomm, Ericsson, Thales are working on delivering 5G from orbit
Wireless chipmaker Qualcomm is working with Ericsson and Thales on technology that could deliver a 5G telecommunications service from low Earth orbit satellites.
According to Ericsson, it is too early at this stage to even say when a prototype 5G-equipped satellite may be launched to test out the technology. "The ultimate result could effectively mean that no matter where you are on Earth – in the middle of an ocean or the remotest forest – high-end, secure and cost-effective connectivity will be available through collaborative 5G satellite and terrestrial connectivity."
