　　According to a report by Juheng.com on August 17, MediaTek announced that a smartphone equipped with the company's 5G NR NTN satellite networking function chip has successfully connected to a satellite in a laboratory environment test. This is the first time that a 5G mobile phone supports a two-way non-terrestrial network. Data transfer.

　　This test follows the functions and procedures defined by the 5G International Standards Organization 3GPP Rel-17 specification, using MediaTek 5G NR NTN satellite network function mobile communication chip, with Rod Schwartz's low-orbit satellite channel simulator and developed by ITRI The test base station simulates a low-orbit satellite in the laboratory at an altitude of 600 kilometers and a moving speed of up to 27,000 kilometers per hour.

　　MediaTek said that the 5G NTN satellite network can provide more complete global coverage. At present, the areas that cannot be reached by the terrestrial network can realize 5G satellite communication services through smartphones, accelerating the integration of 5G network ground and satellite, forming a seamless connection. Communication network, smart phone users do not need to add new accessories, it is expected to realize the innovative service of one machine, two networks, and the connection between heaven and earth.
