Samsung Electronics today announced that it has mastered standardized 5G Non-terrestrial networks (NTN) technology, a communications technology for direct communication between smartphones and satellites, especially in remote areas.

Samsung said it plans to integrate the technology into its Exynos modem solutions to accelerate the commercialisation of 5G satellite communications while "paving the way for the 6G-driven Internet of Everything (IoE) era".

The executive vice president of Samsung's communications processor development team noted that this milestone builds on Samsung's previous achievements in wireless communications technology, including the launch of 4G LTE modems in 2009 and 5G modems in 2018. Samsung plans to be the first in the world to advance a hybrid terrestrial-non terrestrial network communications ecosystem in preparation for the arrival of 6G.

NTN (non-terrestrial network) is described as a communication technology that applies satellites and other non-terrestrial carriers, whether in mountains, deserts or at sea, NTN can reach areas previously unreachable by terrestrial networks. By meeting the latest 5G NTN standard as defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specification (version 17), Samsung's NTN technology will help telecom operators, mobile device manufacturers and chip companies to provide interoperability and scalability between services.

Samsung noted that in order to enable highly reliable NTN communications with low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, it has developed and simulated satellite technology based on the 5G NTN standard on the Exynos Modem 5300 reference platform to accurately predict satellite positions and minimise frequency shifts caused by Doppler shifts. Based on this technology, Samsung's future Exynos modems will support two-way text messaging as well as HD image and video sharing.

Samsung plans to use standardised NB-IoT technology for its next-generation modem platform. Thanks to integrated satellite connectivity, Samsung's NB-IoT non-terrestrial network technology will eliminate the need for a separate high-power wireless antenna chip built into smartphones, providing design flexibility for mobile device manufacturers.
