As IoT devices expand into remote and rural environments, maintaining reliable connectivity beyond the limits of terrestrial 5G becomes essential. This presentation shows how Remcom’s Wireless InSite ray-tracing software can accurately model and overcome these coverage gaps by integrating low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite links with existing NB-IoT networks. Using detailed simulations of rugged terrain, atmospheric effects, and satellite elevation angles, the study demonstrates how LEO augmentation dramatically improves signal quality, coverage reliability, and throughput—often doubling performance in underserved areas. The results highlight the powerful role of NTN-enabled 5G in delivering seamless, wide-area IoT connectivity and showcase Remcom’s advanced tools for evaluating next-generation hybrid communication systems.
