Satellites are the shooting stars in the 5G universe. This is because with their extensive geographic coverage, they have the potential to bring 5G – and one day 6G – to every corner of the planet and thus pave the way for global connectivity. At Fraunhofer IIS, we’re working on enhanced satellite coverage, cellular base stations on satellites, and handover procedures that in the future will enable our smartphones to communicate seamlessly via satellite.
