Skylo, a Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) service operator connecting anything, anywhere, announced its ongoing partnership with MediaTek, a leading global chipset manufacturer. With MediaTek\u2019s 3GPP NTN-standard modem and Skylo\u2019s NTN service, smartphone and IoT manufacturers can develop new devices, sensors, and wearables with in-built satellite connectivity. This allows OEMs to offer connectivity experiences that weren\u2019t possible before, such as being able to text without any gaps or loss in coverage resulting in deeper customer relationships.<\/p>\n
MediaTek\u2019s chipsets power over two billion new consumer and enterprise products each year and lead the industry with integration, connection, and power efficiency. For those device manufacturers who need available chipset solutions with 3GPP NTN capabilities, MediaTek currently has that capability, making it possible to integrate cellular and satellite connectivity into the same device. Further, Skylo\u2019s NTN service is also commercially available today and has done extensive stress testing with MediaTek\u2019s 3GPP NTN chipset to ensure always-on availability when the user has access to the open sky.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe use cases for satellite connectivity based on 3GPP NTN standard are profound, and we have just scratched the tip of the iceberg as satellite and cellular converge for the first time. Our technology provides users with a tested, viable, and consistent opportunity to contact loved ones and emergency services from remote areas,\u201d said Cliff Lin, Assistant General Manager of MediaTek. \u201cWe will continue to work with Skylo to ensure that the chipsets we manufacture are compliant with industry standards and work on its commercial-ready and capable satellite network.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMediaTek\u2019s 3GPP standards-based chipset with NTN is a major milestone in bringing ubiquitous connectivity to smartphones and subscribers across the globe,\u201d said Dr. Andrew Nuttall, Chief Technology Officer for Skylo. \u201cWe\u2019re honored to support MediaTek and deliver a service to their OEM customers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
