Sharp’s 5G NTN-Compatible LEO Satellite Communication User Terminal Wins the Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications Award at CEATEC AWARD 2025
Making It Possible For High-Speed, High-Capacity Communication in Areas with Limited Cellular Coverage
Makuhari, Chiba, October 8, 2025 – (JCN Newswire) –Sharp Corporation’s 5G NTN-Compatible LEO Satellite Communication User Terminal (* 1) has actually been granted the Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications Award at CEATEC AWARD 2025. This award acknowledges exceptional innovations, items, and services that show high development amongst the submissions made by exhibitors at CEATEC 2025, occurring from October 14 (Tuesday) to 17 (Friday), 2025 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba City.
LEO satellite interaction allows premium connection in locations where cellular networks are not available, such as at sea, in mountainous areas, or in disaster-stricken zones. Existing satellite interaction systems typically rely on exclusive innovations, and the absence of standardized interaction procedures stays a crucial obstacle for extensive adoption.
Leveraging its know-how in miniaturization and interaction innovations cultivated through smart device advancement, Sharp is advancing the advancement of a user terminal suitable with 5G NTN interaction. In February of this year, Sharp ended up being the very first worldwide to effectively perform a presentation utilizing a model terminal to get in touch with a LEO satellite through 5G NTN interaction.
By using extensively embraced 5G innovations to LEO satellite interaction, greater stability in network connection, decrease in size and weight of antenna elements, and lower expenses through part standardization with cellular interaction can be understood. These benefits are anticipated to contribute considerably to the more development of the satellite interaction market. In the future, when satellite interaction embraces the very same 5G procedures as cellular networks, smooth changing in between the 2 will end up being possible, allowing steady, high-speed, and high-capacity interaction under varied ecological conditions.
Integrating sophisticated innovations utilized in 5G– such as network slicing (* 2)– into satellite interaction will support the advancement of facilities for large-volume information transmission and fulfill varied interaction requirements, consisting of low-latency applications like self-governing driving and remote devices control.
Sharp will continue to speed up advancement towards the early commercialization of its 5G NTN-compatible LEO satellite interaction user terminal.
