NTN SIM Card: What exactly is NTN?

NTN subscription

With NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks), it is possible to connect installations, equipment, and sensors remotely via satellite networks. This technology combines mobile and satellite connectivity in line with international 3GPP standards and ensures reliable coverage, even in remote locations where there is no mobile signal. NTN is ideally suited for applications such as asset tracking, monitoring, and emergency communications.

Frequently asked questions about NTN

What is NTN?

NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks) uses satellites to provide connectivity, so devices remain connected even in remote locations. The network is based on international standards and works alongside mobile networks for a seamless experience.

How exactly does it work?

When an IoT device temporarily has no mobile coverage, it automatically switches to satellite connectivity. As soon as mobile coverage becomes available again, it immediately switches back. This process is automatic and unnoticeable to the user.

What are the benefits of NTN?

NTN offers global coverage, works energy-efficiently, and does not require large satellite dishes. Thanks to simple integration, devices can continue to send and receive data regardless of their location.

NTN examples

NTN is used for applications in maritime, agriculture, energy, transport, mining, and emergency communications. It is also ideal for asset tracking in areas without a mobile network.
