Abstract
This paper presents modern methods for achieving global communication coverage through NTN networks. The work provides an analysis of two key architectures: Non-geostationary-satellite networks (Non-GSO) and geostationary orbit systems (GSO). Particular attention is paid to implemented direct-to-device satellite projects via GSO, such as Tiantong and Skylo, which enable the use of standard smartphones without additional equipment. The advantages and limitations of each approach are examined, as well as their potential as an alternative to Non-GSO-based services. In conclusion, the prospects for implementing similar technologies in Russia using domestic satellite constellations to ensure connectivity are discussed.
