The 5G LEO (Low-Earth Orbit) satellite market is set for substantial growth, driven by increased investment and development activities. The global market size was estimated at USD 10.54 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.36% from 2024 to 2030. Major players are actively deploying 5G LEO satellite constellations to open new business streams across various industries.
These 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) will extend and enhance coverage in remote areas, ensuring reliable internet access. Many companies are working to integrate NTN capabilities with existing terrestrial networks to maximize these benefits across many promising use cases such as reliable maritime and aviation connectivity, massive IoT applications, enhanced access in remote areas, and faster emergency response.
Leveraging this opportunity, AccelerComm and Capgemini have joined forces to revolutionize 5G LEO satellite connectivity. This collaboration aims to enable an end-to-end solution which provides connectivity in remote areas, airplanes, ships, and other vehicles, from satellites which orbit the Earth at altitudes of 160 to 2,000 kilometres. By combining AccelerComm’s PHY solution and Capgemini’s NR NTN framework solution, they are set to unlock significant benefits.
Key Benefits of 5G LEO Satellite Connectivity
- Connectivity in Isolated Areas: This technology ensures that even the most remote locations can access reliable internet services.
- Faster Speeds and Reduced Latency: By leveraging 5G NTN technology in the Ka-band frequency range, users can experience high-speed internet with minimal delays.
- Enhanced Performance: AccelerComm’s Layer 1 modem and Capgemini’s NR NTN framework solution provide a robust and high-performance 5G service, overcoming challenges such as high path losses, differential delays, and Doppler shifts.
Capgemini has successfully completed interoperability testing with AccelerComm’s PHY technology, marking a significant milestone in delivering high-performance cellular services from low-earth orbit. This collaboration is part of Capgemini’s ecosystem partner program, aimed at minimizing risks, shortening design cycles, and rapidly bringing to market products based on proven technology.
Technical Advancements
- AccelerComm’s 5G PHY Modem: This Layer 1 modem delivers enhanced performance for LEO satellite communications, ensuring high reliability without resorting to lower coding rates and low order modulation schemes.
- Capgemini’s 5G NR NTN RAN Software Framework: Capgemini Engineering has integrated and validated its 5G RAN Software framework capabilities in both terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks. This framework is designed to expedite the implementation of diverse satellite-based communication systems[4].
As we move towards a more connected world, the collaboration between AccelerComm and Capgemini represents another significant step forward in 5G LEO satellite connectivity. By embracing these advancements, we can ensure that no area is left behind in the digital revolution.
The partnership between AccelerComm and Capgemini is a testament to the power of collaboration in driving technological innovation. By leveraging our combined expertise, we are set to deliver high-performance 5G services that will revolutionize connectivity in isolated areas.
