18 November 2024 – SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation is advancing the development towards “Universal NTN” — an innovative Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) that will enable optimal connectivity anytime, anywhere, by integrating multiple communication infrastructures, including geostationary (GEO) satellites, non-geostationary (non-GEO) satellites, and high-altitude platforms (HAPS). Since 2021, SKY Perfect JSAT has been working toward this pioneering concept, and the initiative is now accelerating technical and commercial development, with testing set to begin this November. With its multi-layered approach, “Universal NTN” is designed to deliver robust and reliable connectivity, especially in remote areas such as oceans and mountainous regions where traditional terrestrial networks are limited, while also supporting disaster resilience and recovery. As AI and IoT technologies become increasingly integrated into society, “Universal NTN” aims to address diverse connectivity needs, advancing toward a society where seamless coverage is available everywhere, with automatic routing to the optimal communication path.
