5G NTN New Radio Demonstrator
A controlled 5G NTN New Radio demonstrator for proving PHY stability and throughput - supporting pilot planning and early deployments with real, repeatable data.5G New Radio over satellite introduces tighter PHY margins and higher performance demands than narrowband IoT. This demonstrator enables early examination of NR behaviour under realistic NTN conditions, before committing to pilots or live transmissions.
Why New Radio over NTN is being demonstrated now
New Radio is moving from planning into practical evaluation. Before pilots and early deployments, operators need controlled evidence of NR behavior over satellite links.
Operators are moving from planning to evaluation
Satellite operators are moving New Radio from architectural planning into practical evaluation. Before pilots and live transmissions later in the year, teams need controlled evidence of NR behaviour over satellite links.
NR over NTN has tighter performance margins
New Radio introduces higher bandwidths, tighter timing, and less tolerance for uncertainty than earlier NTN technologies. Demonstration under realistic NTN conditions is essential before expanding scope or committing to pilots.
Early decisions require real data
As New Radio becomes part of NTN roadmaps, operators need more than models and assumptions. Demonstration provides the evidence needed to move confidently toward pilots and early deployments.

Transparent + Regenerative mode
A focused New Radio demonstrator designed to support early technical and commercial decisions before pilot engagement.
Demonstrate NR over NTN behaviour
Examine how New Radio behaves over satellite links under controlled conditions, with a focus on stability and sustained throughput rather than coverage claims.
- Anchored 5G NR operation
- FR1 bands (L/S)
- Single-carrier configuration
- Remote broadband scenarios
Observe real PHY performance
Move beyond models and assumptions by observing actual New Radio PHY behaviour over NTN, using repeatable demonstration scenarios.
- UE attach stability without resets
- Sustained bidirectional throughput
- Behaviour observed over extended sessions.
Support pilot planning
Use demonstrator results to inform pilot scope, expectations, and risk areas ahead of live transmissions later in the year.
- Evidence to support internal decision-making
- Input for pilot definition and success criteria
- Reduced uncertainty before scaling scope

Frequently asked question on the subject of 5G NTN New Radio Demonstrator.
The Demonstrator is well suited for organizations that are:
- Evaluating NTN feasibility
- Validating device or satellite integration
- Defining NTN rollout strategy
- Building technical evidence prior to commercial approval
It provides a structured and lower-risk path toward production deployment by validating architecture and performance early in the programme lifecycle.
The Demonstrator is optimized for validation and proof activities rather than long-term operational deployment.
It supports experimentation, configuration testing, and performance verification. The production gNodeB is designed for continuous service delivery, operational lifecycle management, and commercial rollout.
The Demonstrator validates your assumptions. The gNodeB runs your network.
Yes. The Demonstrator is suitable for controlled lab environments and can support live or in-orbit validation setups depending on your system configuration.
It enables reproducible test scenarios, which are essential for documenting measurable performance results and passing internal or partner acceptance gates.
Yes. The Demonstrator is aligned with 3GPP Release 17 NTN specifications, ensuring that validation results reflect standards-based behavior.
This means that proof-of-concept work performed using the Demonstrator can evolve toward operational deployment with minimal architectural rework.
The Demonstrator is designed to validate 5G NTN New Radio performance in controlled, repeatable environments before committing to full deployment.
It allows you to test functional behavior, latency characteristics, and integration assumptions without locking into a production rollout architecture.
