Qualcomm today outlined some of the technologies it is testing as it pushes the 3GPP 5G NR standard closer to reality. The company completed one of the first 5G cellular voice calls with partners Verizon Wireless and Nokia earlier this month. The company is also working on over-the-air spectrum sharing. The use of such sharing technologies will allow licensed and unlicensed 5G spectrum to work as one. The company is targeting IoT with some 5G technologies, too, such as private 5G networks for businesses that can power wireless ethernet for large industrial spaces. Last, Qualcomm is looking at 5G NR Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) as a way to power autonomous driving. C-V2X requires high throughout and the lowest-possible latency. Qualcomm expects these and other 5G technologies will be ready some time in 2019.

AST SpaceMobile has successfully completed a test of the first full two-way voice call using a standard, off-the-shelf cell phone connecting directly to a satellite in orbit (instead of to a land-based network.) Other recently-announced space connectivity solutions have focused only on messaging, not voice calls, and/or require new phones with added satellite technology. This test used an unmodified Samsung Galaxy S22 connecting directly to AST's BlueWalker 3 test satellite in orbit.
