balstar connectivity for emergency purposes. Cellular providers are catching up, with similar solutions that are agnostic to the make of the smartphone. On one hand, 5G allows cellular networks to provide high speed and lower latency, as compared to the previous generation of mobile technology. On the other hand, satellite communication helps to connect areas that are out of coverage of terrestrial communication networks. Together, the two technologies help to bring the best of both to users. It is very useful for connecting remote areas or applications with a high degree of mobility, often seen in the aviation industry, the maritime industry, Use cases of 5G and satellite communication transportation, and public services in the case of large-scale disasters such as earthquakes or tsunamis. The convergence of 5G and satellite communication also enables large-scale IoT use cases. Autonomous vehicles, as well as military communication, are other beneficiaries here. Today, metro areas and communication between the major cities of a country have good coverage through TNs powered by fiber and Wi-Fi networks. However, the new avenues for 5G and satellite convergence are the following: Coverage for moving devices such as cruise ships, cargo vehicles, trucks, and goods trains traveling cross-country with precious cargo IoT connections and asset-tracking scenarios where coverage is needed both within cities and remote areas such as power-generation grids with wind turbines, solar farms, and hydro-generation facilities Edge computing scenarios where the processing and caching of data is moving progressively closer to the field location and further away from the cloud core or central data centers See s://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/role-satellites-5g-networks for more details. While TNs can extend connectivity for devices close to the periphery of large cities, such as the suburbs, SATCOM along with 5G is the only way to provide continuous connectivity between metro areas with a high degree of reliability, network bandwidt
