The telecom world is on the cusp of a major transformation, thanks to the 3GPP's new standards for Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs). By integrating satellites, High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS), and airborne systems with traditional ground networks, NTNs are poised to become a natural extension of both 5G and future 6G systems. This shift eliminates the long-standing divide between space and ground infrastructure, creating a single, unified digital fabric.
