Next-generation wireless networks are envisioned to break the boundaries of the current terrestrial-based systems and fully adopt the Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs). NTN consists of variants of space-borne and aerial communication networks including GEO, MEO, LEO satellite constellations,High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS), Low Altitude Platform Systems (LAPS), and air-to-ground (A2G) networks.

NTN elements and components are evolving to become an integral part of the future 6th Generation (6G) wireless network. NTN is growing in importance owing to its ability to offer “anything, anytime, anywhere” connectivity, thus connecting the unconnected. In this context, CST has launched the “NTN Program” to enable the NTN technologies and to facilitate the roadmap to the 6G communications.
