As the telecommunication standards body 3GPP prepares for setting the scope for Release 20, the Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance (NGMN) has released a publication advocating the critical need for harmonised global standards for 6G.

This article explores the transformative potential of 5G communications across society and national security. Beginning with traditional use cases—smartphones, Internet of Things (IoT), and media streaming—this article highlights how 5G has already proven its technical capabilities across multiple user communities. The discussion then shifts to next-generation applications such as autonomous drone swarms, counter-drone systems, remote emergency response, and global tactical communications. These demonstrate how 5G, when integrated with AI and the cloud, reshape what’s possible.

AccelerComm announced that it has closed a funding round totaling $15 million to further develop and accelerate deployments of the company’s 5G satellite communications products and technology that enable direct-to-device (D2D) communications between phone handsets and space-based satellite networks.

Omnispace, Gatehouse Satcom, and Nordic Semiconductor announced the successful demonstration of a 5G narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) system over an Omnispace S-Band non-geostationary orbit satellite.

Five organizations, the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), SKY Perfect JSAT, TMY Technology, Inc., Rohde & Schwarz and VIAVI Solutions, have jointly developed a new 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) satellite technology to advance mobile connectivity in remote locations.

Rohde & Schwarz is hosting its fifth Satellite Industry Day on June 3, 2025, on-site at its Munich campus.
