<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: Taiwanese fabless chipmaker MediaTek said it achieved a new “5G<\/a> milestone” by powering a smartphone with a 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) connection in a test lab, even as European telecom gear makers Ericsson and Nokia are also working to demonstrate 5G from space<\/a> with their respective industry partners.

The demonstration was completed in a MediaTek lab using Rohde & Schwarz test equipment, emulating a realistic low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation at 600km altitude, according to an official statement.

It added that this shows a possibility of supporting satellite communications (satcom) with 5G commercial smartphone hardware.

The smartphone was powered by MediaTek’s NR NTN-enabled test chip, compatible with 3GPP Release-17, connected to the test gNB by ITRI.

Omnispace has launched Space-1 and Space-2 in April and May, respectively, and recently completed the deployment phase of its “Spark” program. This program, according to a joint statement, is the initial phase in the company's development and delivery of a global 5G-capable satellite network claimed to be a ‘world-first’.<\/p><\/div>
