A high-fidelity scale model of a next-generation Low Earth Orbit (LEO) multi-mission satellite is displayed at the Space Communications zone during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. This unit represents advancements in 5G-Advanced Non-Terrestrial Networks (5G-NTN), designed to provide seamless direct-to-cell connectivity and high-speed backhaul for remote areas. The platform is powered by a radiation-hardened dual-core LEON4 on-board processor combined with a specialized FPGA-based Neural Processing Unit for edge AI data filtering. The satellite features a modular payload including a high-resolution multispectral optical sensor with a 30-centimeter ground sampling distance, supported by a 50-megapixel CMOS imaging system for earth observation. Its communication suite utilizes a Software Defined Radio architecture capable of handling Ka-band and Q/V-band frequencies, integrated with optical laser links for ultra-secure inter-satellite data relay. The demonstration highlights the convergence of terrestrial and space-based infrastructure, enabling global IoT coverage and emergency telecommunications via standard smartphone devices.

A scale model of the Starlink V2 (Gen 2) satellite is on display at the T-Mobile (Deutsche Telekom) exhibition booth during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. The mockup represents the next-generation low-Earth orbit (LEO) spacecraft designed for Direct-to-Cell connectivity, featuring massive phased array antennas and custom-designed silicon. This hardware allows unmodified 5G smartphones, powered by modems like the Qualcomm Snapdragon X80 or the Snapdragon X105 NTN, to connect directly to the satellite network for text, voice, and data services. The Starlink V2 satellites used in the T-Mobile partnership integrate eNodeB technology in space, effectively acting as cell towers in orbit to eliminate coverage ''dead zones'' across Europe and the US. The model highlights the deployable solar arrays and the advanced radio frequency (RF) system designed to support high-density traffic and emergency 5G-Advanced services.
