Curious about how our 5G NTN NB-IoT eNodeB performs? We sat down with our Product Manager, Morten Thomsen, to explore how Gatehouse Satcom helps clients succeed with 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) NB-IoT services in space.
Ampliación de los servicios 5G NB-IoT al espacio
When discussing what a company aiming to build a 5G NTN NB-IoT satellite service can gain by partnering with Gatehouse Satcom, Morten highlights our comprehensive approach. Gatehouse Satcom supports customers from the earliest planning phases, assessing the feasibility and advantages of 5G NB-IoT NTN all the way through to a fully operational service. As Morten explains, “We can provide analysis and simulations to validate the value of 5G NTN services, followed by a test and demo system that allows you to experience the capabilities in your own lab or satellite constellation. Finally, we offer a dedicated eNodeB designed specifically for integration into a satellite-based 5G service.”
¿Por qué eNodeB un eNodeB diseñado específicamente?
Morten also emphasizes what sets Gatehouse Satcom’s eNodeB apart. Instead of adapting a terrestrial solution for space, our eNodeB is purpose-built for NTN, ensuring optimal performance from the outset. “Developed from scratch to support 5G NB-IoT NTN,” he notes, “it runs on a commercial off-the-shelf software-defined radio platform and can be deployed either as a full payload or as a modular component.” This flexibility enables compatibility with all orbits, including LEO, MEO, and GEO, and allows operation in both regenerative and transparent modes.
Garantizar la compatibilidad con las redes centrales y los chipsets.
La compatibilidad en todo el ecosistema es otra cuestión fundamental. Morten confirma que nuestro eNodeB 5G NB-IoT eNodeB sido verificado con éxito en un entorno de laboratorio con los principales proveedores de 5G NTN y redes centrales 5G NTN . Esto garantiza una integración fluida y proporciona una vía fiable de acceso al mercado para cualquier servicio de IoT por satélite.
Alineación con 3GPP para una mayor flexibilidad.
Future-proofing is also a priority. Morten points out that our 5G NB-IoT NTN eNodeB is fully compliant with 3GPP standards, which have included NTN specifications since Release 17. This compliance allows a wide range of commercially available NB-IoT devices to operate seamlessly across both terrestrial and satellite networks, delivering enhanced flexibility for end users.
