Abstract
5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) technology has successfully triggered the convergence across satellite and mobile cellular ecosystems. Compared with proprietary technologies, the open standard 5G NTN technology can enable satellite communications in more affordable devices and mainstream consumer markets thanks to economics of scale. The recent examples by smart phone direct access to satellite already demonstrates high market interests and potential which will benefit both ecosystems.
