5G from space: the final Frontier for Global connectivity

Since its birth in the 1980s, the Internet has continuously evolved to connect the world. The technologies involved can be used to define the evolution’s phases – the first of which saw the Internet being established mostly using fixed networks. The next phase in the 2000s saw the Internet proliferating drastically, with Wi-Fi and terrestrial cellular networks providing easily accessible wireless broadband connectivity. Fast forward to today, the lives of billions of people around the world are being transformed for the better with mobile access to the Internet. However, the loss of terrestrial cellular network coverage can be disruptive to not only industry and enterprise but even the safety of individuals when they need it the most. We stand at the threshold of the next exciting phase of the Internet’s evolution – with 5G coverage from space having the potential to make mobile connectivity truly ubiquitous.
