Sharp will co-exhibit with Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (hereinafter Mitsubishi Chemical) (*2) at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) booth at the space-related symposium '41st Space Symposium' held in Colorado, USA, from Monday, April 13 to Thursday, April 16 this year. During this period, satellite communication user terminals currently under development will be exhibited.
■ Exhibit Details
1. Ultra-compact, lightweight satellite communication user terminal Concept Model [Reference Exhibit]
An ultra-compact and lightweight concept model designed to be mounted on drones and automobiles. We are advancing development aiming for commercialization jointly with Mitsubishi Chemical, NICT (National Institute of Information and Communications Technology) (*3), and TECHLABO (*4). By mounting it on mobility vehicles, we aim to utilize it for securing communication lines in mountainous areas and disaster-stricken regions.
● For the agreement on joint development by the four parties, please refer to the news release issued on July 30, 2025 (https://corporate.jp.sharp/news/250730-a.html).
2. 5G NTN communication compatible LEO satellite communication user terminal Prototype [Reference Exhibit]
A prototype of an LEO satellite communication user terminal compatible with NTN communication utilizing 5G technology. With our proprietary beam control technology, it can track LEO satellites orbiting the earth at high speeds with high precision. It allows for the construction of a stable network environment even at sea, where cellular communication is difficult to reach.
● The development of this satellite communication user terminal is being carried out with a grant from the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). (JPJ012368G50501)
