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.

  • 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
