Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs)
Advanced NTN connectivity for next-gen U.S. Federal needs
Nokia Federal Solutions is a leader in pushing the boundaries of connectivity, addressing the unique communication needs of the U.S. Federal government. As demands for secure, reliable, and high-performance communication networks grow, we're at the forefront of delivering advanced solutions that go beyond traditional terrestrial networks.
By harnessing innovative NTN technologies, we’re enabling the U.S. Federal government to stay connected, even in space, enhancing mission-critical capabilities and expanding the reach of secure communications to uncharted territories.
Leveraging 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards
Our NTN solutions are built upon the robust and secure foundation of 3GPP standards, the globally recognized technology driving mobile communication.
This ensures seamless integration with existing infrastructure and future advancements, fostering a reliable and interoperable ecosystem for critical defense applications.
Proven in all altitudes
From terrestrial deployments to high-altitude platforms and beyond, we have a proven track record of delivering reliable connectivity solutions at every level.
We work with the U.S. Federal Government on integrating 3GPP technology across aviation platforms and satellite networks, creating a unified and secure communication architecture across all operational domains.
5G on the lunar surface
We're not just talking about Earth anymore. Nokia is pushing the boundaries of connectivity even further by collaborating with NASA to bring 4G/LTE and potentially 5G to the moon!
This lunar network will pave the way for a sustained human presence on the moon and beyond, enabling critical communication for future Artemis missions.
Use cases
Discover the practical applications of our non-terrestrial networks solutions, designed to meet mission-critical demands.
High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS)
Mobile base stations at the edge of space. Performance that rivals terrestrial networks with near ubiquitous coverage. Nokia helped found the HAPS Alliance and was the key telecom partner for Google’s project Loon.
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) 5G
Expanding universal coverage and closing the digital divide around the world with “direct to handset” connectivity from space. Nokia is the networking partner of industry leader AST SpaceMobile.
Cellular on the Moon
In partnership with NASA “Tipping Point” program, Nokia is bringing 4G/5G connectivity to the Moon. Utilizing purpose-built hardware capable of handling the extreme temperatures of lunar night, Nokia and NASA will bring a new generation of deep space communications.
