Abstract:
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication technology has become a significant breakthrough in modern telecommunications. Compared to traditional ground-based stations and geostationary satellites, LEO satellites offer advantages such as wide coverage, low latency, and high speed. These satellites orbit just a few hundred kilometers above the Earth, enabling near-global seamless network coverage, particularly in remote areas and oceans where conventional infrastructure is difficult to deploy. The development of LEO satellite communication technology has facilitated the emergence of future Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). These advancements have greatly enhanced the flexibility and reliability of communication services. NTN can effectively complement and expand the capabilities of existing terrestrial networks. The evolution of LEO satellites and NTN not only brings technological innovations but also generates substantial economic and societal benefits. Foxconn Research Institute began planning, designing, manufacturing, and integrating LEO communication CubeSats in 2021. By the end of 2023, these satellites were successfully launched into orbit by SpaceX from California, USA. In this presentation, we will share our experiences in developing LEO satellite communication for vertical applications, as well as insights into satellite operations and analysis in orbit. We will also discuss the technical challenges that need to be overcome in LEO satellite communications and the future applications of NTN in 6G development.
