5G Architecture & Opportunities

“It’s not going to be about personal

communication anymore. It’s much

more of a transformational

technology that will have a huge

impact on an enormous range of

industries."

Its backhaul but not as we know it Jim

Its not just about bit pipe, its key we look at how the ground segment and space segment play a nodal or functional role in a 5G architecture, these will be paramount to tighter integration and added value.

• Exploiting SDN/NFV and MEC, incorporate LTE nodes as an integrate part of the satellite system.

• Space segment/ future satellites to include SDN/NFV capability

• Integrate MEC within the terminal and gateway.

Lets move beyond just backhaul

Thank you
