DESCRIPTION
To support the broadest range of use cases, 5G needs to integrate within a com-prehensive system of all available communication technologies, exploiting their particular strengths and values. Satellite networks are among the most mature communication technologies having specific advantages in geographically distribut-ed and dynamic networks. They provide highly efficient, effective, and expedient network deployments leveraging their intrinsic advantages in broadcasting capabilities, global coverage, reduced reliance on terrestrial infrastructure and high securi-ty. Satellite networks are nowadays considered as part of the 5G use case deployments.
