Application: Remote Area Data Collection (ITRI)
Description
LEO satellites are expected to provide several features including fast connection, global coverage for the ecosystem a.k.a IoT networks. These capabilities are required in the remote area data collection application as not supported in the current 5G solution as elaborated in subsection 1.3 (Mapping to 6G Audacious Goals.)
Devices
- GEO Satellite, IOT Devices, UAVs
