Mavenir and Terrestar make first NB-IoT call in NTN mode

Mavenir and mobile satellite operator Terrestar have completed the first Voice over NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) call in Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) mode. The breakthrough — achieved in January 2025 — used a 3GPP-standardised NTN S-band spectrum, which strategically avoids interference prevalent in terrestrial networks. Additionally, the system was designed to accommodate delays characteristic of...
