Smartphone-to-Satellite Technology by Samsung
Samsung, a name which is well known for its innovations and leading market in semiconductor technology. As the news for 5G catches fire in the technology market, Samsung announced a new secured standardized 5G non-terrestrial networks, which is also called NTN in short. This technology will help to communication between smartphones and satellite directly, especially in remote areas where there is very hard to have cellular network connectivity.
To predict exactly about the satellite positions and minimize frequency offsets caused by the Doppler shift, there is a planning going on to integrate the technology to the company’s Exynos modem solutions. As a result of this technology, Samsung’s Exynos modem will also backing the concept of two-way text messaging as well as high-definition image and video distribution. Samsung also involved in developing Exynos 1380 and Exynos 1330 chipsets which is widely used in several Samsung Smartphones.
Samsung also explain that how this technology will help the user in their blog. It is like “NTN will be a communication technology that uses satellites and other non-terrestrial vehicles to get connectivity to the regions that were previously unreachable by terrestrial networks whether over mountains, across deserts or even in the middle of the ocean. The technology will also play a critical role in assuring operability in disaster areas and act as fuel to driving future urban air mobility (UAM) such as unmanned aircraft and flying cars.
Company officials added “This milestone builds on our rich legacy in wireless communications technologies, following the introduction of the industry’s first commercial 4G LTE modem in 2009 and the industry’s first 5G modem in 2018”. Furthermore, Samsung planned to secure a standardized NB-IoT NTN technology for use in its next-generation modem platforms.
This is the latest result of Samsung’s innovation and research which will be helping us in getting better connectivity and experience which is lacking in the above said areas. And this may offer mobile device makers with much better design flexibility.
