➀ The ESA and Telesat have established a world-first 5G connection to a non-geostationary spacecraft. This is a significant step towards making space-based connections as simple as using a mobile phone. ➁ The connection was made using 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) technology in the Ka-band frequency range. ➂ The initiative showcases the collaboration between ESA, Telesat, and Amarisoft, aiming to support services requiring real-time, interactive connections, such as rural healthcare and remote industrial operations.
