LG launches world's first 5G satellite communication vehicle module

LG Innotek recently launched the world's first third-generation vehicle-mounted module that supports 5G broadband satellite communications. The module breaks through the limitations of traditional narrowband transmission, achieves a rate of hundreds of Mbps, and is compatible with low- and medium-orbit satellite networks. This technology can support high-precision map updates, autonomous driving data streams, and 4K entertainment transmission, thereby promoting the development of software-defined cars and autonomous driving. It is reported that the module has passed the test of car companies and is expected to start mass production in 2025. Hyundai and GM may be the first customers.
