Direct-to-device 5G connectivity from non-terrestrial networks
The increasing demand for seamless connectivity has led to the merging of satellite and terrestrial communications, creating fully integrated solutions that adhere to 3GPP standards such as 5G. By tapping into the capabilities of satellite communications, telecom operators are discovering new possibilities for network expansion and providing connectivity to areas that are either unserved or underserved.
Integrating terrestrial networks (TN) and non-terrestrial networks (NTN) is far from straightforward. To achieve success, several technical challenges, such as the Doppler effect, handover timing, and increased latency, must be addressed.
Facing the challenges with experts
Testing and simulation tools are crucial for modeling, evaluating, and optimizing 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) services. These tools offer a controlled setting to confirm that the technology is adequately prepared to meet the demands of space-based communication.
Whether you’re collecting technical data for your business case, interested in conducting live or laboratory demonstrations, or seeking software solutions to commercially enable your service, we are here to assist you.
