/Photo Provided by LGU+, “LG Uplus announced on the 23rd that it has published a ‘6G White Paper – Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN)’ forecasting the development of 6G mobile communication services.”,
,
, “The Non-Terrestrial Network concept involves using not only base stations installed on the ground but also aerial and space infrastructure such as communication satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles for high-altitude platform stations (HAPS). It is a key technology that extends the high-speed data communication and low latency offered by existing 5G beyond the ground and into the aerial and space realms.”,
,
, “Once non-terrestrial networks are commercialized, they can overcome the communication range limitations for new services like urban air mobility (UAM) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). This will enable multidimensional communication services using aerial and space assets, facilitating innovative services in industries that require real-time connectivity.”,
,
, “The white paper discusses the technological development direction of non-terrestrial networks, the current state of standardization by the international organization 3GPP, and various service scenarios.”,
,
, “In particular, it presents ways to enable global communication services using low earth orbit (LEO), medium earth orbit (MEO), and geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites. With advancements in reusable launch vehicle technology, the possibility of building more economical global communication networks is increasing. Satellite communication is rapidly advancing, minimizing delay and enabling ultra-high-speed transmission with ‘Inter-Satellite Link’ technology.”,
,
, “Moreover, it predicts the construction of ‘satellite data centers’ by combining satellites with edge computing in the post-6G era. This would maximize data processing efficiency even in remote areas like islands or mountains, and become essential technology for implementing high-speed, low-latency services such as telemedicine.”,
,
, “LG Uplus plans to focus on the concept verification and technology development of next-generation mobile communication technologies such as non-terrestrial networks and actively participate in the standardization process to secure 6G technology leadership.”,
,
, “The content of this 6G white paper is available on the LG Uplus official blog.”,
