Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies will work with aerospace company Thales to bring 5G into space. This is an ambitious project that will lead to an improvement in global connections, especially as regards the most remote areas of the planet. Here are the details of a project that, in a few years, could revolutionize the world of connectivity on a global scale:
Ericsson, Qualcomm and Thales will also bring 5G into space
Thanks to this project, which aims at bring 5G into space, smartphones will be able to connect to the next generation mobile network anywhere on Earth. In this way, therefore, it will be possible to obtain global coverage of the planet, bringing ultra-broadband really everywhere. The project by Ericsson, Qualcomm and Thales, after a long phase of research and initial studies, it is ready to go. 5G in space will be able to exploit satellites in low earth orbit to maximize its coverage. It will be necessary to wait for the next few years to understand what the actual evolution of this new system for terrestrial connections will be.
In a note, Ericsson points out: “Such widespread connectivity would enhance the roaming capabilities of smartphone users with 5G subscribers, as well as enable global connectivity in the transport, energy and healthcare sectors. The space network could also be used as a backup to current terrestrial counterparts, in the event of major network outages or disasters, and to increase the security of government networks for national communications “,
