In the satellite segment , the March 2024 specifications of 3GPP Release 17/18 integrated NTN access into the 5G system. This release extends IoT and Machine-Type Communication (MTC) support, including satellite coverage. It also introduces new topics such as AI/ML, XR/VR/AR, and energy efficiency. The inclusion of NTN access in the 5G system enables new services like voice, image, video, and higher data rates, beyond emergency and text messages using the NTN system. This integration promises multiple advantages by reusing cellular technology to lower costs and reduce integration challenges and effort.
In addition to Tier 1 SoC suppliers, new NTN chipsets are being developed with support from mobile satellite services operators and NTN service providers. Existing L and S band MSS operators have formed the Mobile Satellite Services Association (MSSA) to provide integrated and scalable terrestrial and NTN services by combining 100 MHz of L and S band spectrum. This will enable current and future services. As a result of the MSSA alliance, new devices are planned for release in 2024 and 2025. These new developments will open-up new opportunities for Sasken. This quarter, Sasken engaged in NTN system development with an NTN system supplier and began contributing to VSAT system development, designing multiple components for LEO constellation for a satellite operator.
In the Communications industry, we are experiencing the fastest rollout of 5G networks in history, alongside a significant shift toward next-generation networks driven by the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI). The integration of NTN into the 5G system is enabling applications in the automotive and UAV sectors to seamlessly transition between terrestrial and non-terrestrial coverage areas. AI has the potential to revolutionize our solutions and services by optimizing networks, enabling self-diagnostics, enhancing network security, and improving customer analytics, thereby elevating overall customer experiences.
We are actively exploring opportunities to leverage generative AI in our services, focusing on reducing network outages, enabling self-healing capabilities, and quickly identifying root causes. This includes experimenting with large language models (LLMs) to analyze network logs, transforming them into context-aware intelligent log analysis modules. Additionally, we are supporting modem platform design and R&D services for new SoC suppliers by providing consultancy and licensing existing IPs.
