Understanding the Why and How of 5G NB-IoT NTN Capacity

Why is it important to understand 5G NB-IoT NTN capacity? What is the achievable capacity for NGSO and GEO based example scenarios?
SB-SAT technology

Description

Join us for a deep-dive session where we unpack the fundamentals, challenges, and real-world performance of 5G NB-IoT over Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). Drawing on analysis delivered to the European Space Agency (ESA), this webinar gives you a clear understanding of both the potential and the practical limitations of NB-IoT in satellite-based connectivity.

We’ll explore why capacity matters, what defines it, and how to calculate it for different orbital regimes. You’ll gain a grounded perspective on achievable system capacity for both NGSO and GEO scenarios—and learn how realistic and precise current capacity models truly are.

This webinar is designed for professionals working with satellite communications, IoT connectivity, network planning, or anyone looking to better understand how NB-IoT can be effectively deployed over NTN.
