While the satellite connected car has long been seen as a future market for the satellite industry, it hasn\u2019t broken through into the mainstream yet. But recent developments in standards and technology are bringing this closer to reality. This week\u2019s episode features two experts in vehicle connectivity from BMW Group<\/strong>, Olaf Eckart and Georg Schmitt, for a discussion on the path to integrating satellite connectivity into vehicles. <\/p>\n

Eckart and Schmitt explain the use cases where satellite makes sense for vehicles, some of the challenges specific to the automotive industry, and the roadmap for integrating satellite into vehicles from narrowband, wideband, to broadband. The first mass market applications with non-terrestrial network (NTN), narrowband IoT applications are expected to be deployed from 2027 on. <\/p>\n

They are part of the 5G Automotive Association<\/b> (5GAA), and the discussion covers vehicle demonstrations that 5GAA recently hosted with satellite companies in Paris. The automotive industry is looking to benefit from the work that has been done to integrate satellite into mobile networks, and Eckhart and Schmitt talk about how standards have driven new momentum in the work between automakers, MNOs, and satellite players. <\/p>\n
