Low Earth Orbit satellites are important for NTN because their lower altitude can reduce latency compared with higher orbit systems.
LEO systems can support broader coverage and resilient communication services when integrated with terrestrial 5G/6G infrastructure.
5G NTN extends mobile network concepts beyond terrestrial base stations by including satellites and aerial platforms.
6G NTN aims to make satellite, aerial, and terrestrial systems cooperate as one broader communication fabric.
