Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
The standard is genuinely frozen and credible (tier-3 standards body), but the gap between freeze, conformance, and shipping silicon means it underpins roadmaps, not production today.
Next
Track availability of Rel-19-conformant chipsets and operator NTN service launches before designing any feature on direct-to-device satellite connectivity.
