Bridging 5G and Space: Inside France 2030’s End-to-End NTN Pilot With Dual LEO Satellites

Bridging 5G and Space: Inside France 2030’s End-to-End NTN Pilot With Dual LEO Satellites

Eutelsat conducted the world’s first 5G non-terrestrial network trial in early 2025, linking a standard 5G signal via OneWeb LEO satellites at 1,200 km altitude. The pilot, using Airbus-built satellites and 3GPP Release-17 NTN standards, showed stable broadband 5G connections and validated handovers between moving satellites. In June 2025, Orange signed a multi-year deal to use OneWeb LEO for 5G backhaul and remote coverage.

China’s AO-MDR Laser Link Delivers 1 Gbps from Geostationary Orbit

China’s AO-MDR Laser Link Delivers 1 Gbps from Geostationary Orbit

A 2-watt laser on a geostationary satellite sent a 1 Gbps downlink to Earth over 36,000 km, using AO-MDR technology to counter atmospheric turbulence. The ground station’s 1.8-meter telescope and deformable mirror boosted usable signal frames from 72% to 91.1%. The test, led by Prof. Wu Jian and Liu Chao, was published in Acta Optica Sinica in June 2025. The result shows high efficiency at very low power.

Orbiting Eyes: How Space-Based ADS-B Is Revolutionizing Air Traffic Surveillance

Space-based ADS-B became operational in 2019 via Aireon’s network of 66 Iridium NEXT satellites, enabling global real-time aircraft tracking, including over oceans and polar regions. NAV CANADA and NATS launched the system in the North Atlantic in March 2019, reducing aircraft separation and saving $25 million in fuel by 2023. Fiji Airways trials in 2020 cut fuel use by 5% on Pacific routes. A second-generation constellation is planned for 2027.
