This enables voice communications to be sent using the NB-IoT communications protocol over Viasat\u2019s highly reliable, L-band satellite network.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For the first time, this technology was integrated with BMW Group\u2019s in-vehicle architecture, allowing voice calls to be initiated and managed directly through the vehicle interface. By extending messaging and voice services beyond cellular coverage, automakers like BMW Group can ensure drivers remain connected for emergency assistance and critical safety applications, regardless of location.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThis demonstration reflects broader industry excitement to ensure consistent, resilient satellite capabilities for next-generation vehicles,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Sandeep Moorthy, Senior Vice President, Advanced Non-Terrestrial Solutions at Viasat. <\/strong>\u201cBy bringing standards-based NTN to vehicles, we can integrate satellite voice and messaging and ultimately enable a future where drivers can remain connected \u2014 wherever the journey takes them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Viasat, BMW Group, Cubic<sup>3<\/sup>, and Fraunhofer IIS are active members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=J4USzR-gI0cICyBtSkqWA157ZG1vykw-tL6QDSGkhDtXaznOW8XaTn8APjLinDvOpG1a9nUhzNX0XGe69pEyeGRMxXYsvZhTgYzskoy4UIQ=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">5GAA (5G Automotive Association)<\/a>, which brings together technology and automotive partners to develop real-world, scalable connectivity solutions for all road users.
