To develop an understanding of national direct-to-cell
satellite connectivity (technical description of the satellite component and how
it works), where some systems could operate in absence of
a framework providing international recognition and protection. To explore national authorisation and technical mitigation issues. These are unmodified cellular devices already placed on the market up
until mid-2023 (including 3GPP NTN in MSS bands
and/or connectivity in MFCN bands).
There will be a focus on satellite-to-cellular
device systems operating in frequency bands without satellite allocations (i.e.
MFCN bands).
