Hero Background

Want to innovate and unlock 5G's full potential?

We make your way into 5G standards

découvrir

5G is a golden opportunity for Companies and Verticals, Wireless and Satellite industries. It's the standard that defines the 5G network that rules them all (Terrestrial, Satellite, IoT/M2M…) but it's very challenging to profit from 5G, you're forced to act across 3 misaligned stacks:

Spectrum & RF

Complex, proprietary, expensive to evolve

Networks

Increasingly complex, harder to manage, proprietary RANs, custom cores

Terminals, UE & software

proprietary solutions, evolving fast, rigid, fragmented, hard to scale.

Each stack moves on its own. Together, they slow you down.

The result :

Expensive, High costs, Slow rollouts, Lack of features, Incompatible solutions. You get filtered out by the system, You are locked in constraints.

There is a better way!

5G (1)

Novamint works where it matters most, we co-develop the 5G standard to include your features. A fourth stack — the only one that shapes all the others.

Since 2015, we make verticals, satellite operators and chipset & device makers to be successful with 5G.

Key achievements

Where we moved the lines

We put our clients' interests first, act with conviction, and uphold the highest standards of integrity and confidentiality. We have been instrumental and successful to extend 5G terrestrial networks into Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), enabling direct connectivity to 5G phones or IoT devices from space.

Number 1

contributor in 2024 in SA1 in front of China Mobile, Huawei, Qualcomm, Samsung…

Top 10

contributors in 3GPP in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Leader

in changing Release 19 to include Band 1800 / 1830, specific RF allocated to some use cases and a key milestone for the adoption of private LTE.

Drove successfully the topic of Broadcast services with satellite access for unregistered UEs in 5G

Satellite

  • Coordination of satellite community for 3GPP NTN activities (in particular SA/CT) resulting in the Satellite identified as the Number1 “core” topic for Rel-19 and for Rel-20 in SA/SA2
  • Leading the work on multi-orbit in Rel-20 for 5G Advanced
  • Rapporteur for Rel-19 & Rel-20 SA1 Study/work items on Satellite access
  • Instrumental in the promotion of IoT by Satellite in 3GPP since 2017
  • > led to set-up “IoT NTN” in Release 17 in RAN
  • > led up to Transform Study in work item within Release 17 in RAN
  • > coordination of “IoT NTN” for the Rel-19/Rel-20 RAN scope

Power Consumption

  • Instrumental in the prioritisation & power consumption features (EDT, WUS, PUR…) for NB-IoT in Rel 15/16 (RAN)
  • Extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX): Allows to specify a period during which a device will stay in a low-power sleep state before trying to see if there are data pending.
  • • Power Save Mode (PSM): Allow the device to turn off the radio and go to sleep mode without the need of reconnecting itself to the network when it next wakes up. Battery Life Extension: 6-10 years
  • Early Data Transmission (EDT): allow the device to send already its (small) message when negotiating the connection with the network and then go back to sleep mode without being connected
  • • Wake Up Signal (WUS): allow devices to avoid regularly paging checking. Battery Life Extension: 8-12 years
  • Preconfigured Uplink Resources (PUR): allow the possibility to assign radio resources to device in advance for transmission of uplink data without the need of connection setup Battery Life Extension: 11-15 years
