Why perform 5G NTN demonstrations and tests?
Demonstrating the capabilities of 5G NTN technology before implementation is essential for satellite operators to gain data-driven validation of expected link and network performance.
These demonstrations provide key performance insights, helping to validate technical decisions and ensure success before committing to full-scale development and commercial launch of new services. Here’s why performing a demonstration test is invaluable:
- Mitigate Risks
Evaluate potential challenges, integration points, and technical performance before committing to full-scale deployment. - Validate Performance
Ensure that your satellite systems are compatible with 5G NTN protocols, offering improved coverage, reduced latency, and higher bandwidth. - Optimize Investments
By experiencing a 5G NTN implementation in your intended set-up firsthand, you can make informed decisions. This enables you to optimize your investments and ensure that your technological infrastructure is ready for the future. - Gain Competitive Edge
Stay ahead of the curve by testing and adopting next-generation technologies, giving your satellite network the flexibility and scalability to meet future demand.
Gain roadmap confidence with advanced 5G NTN Demonstrations
As the satellite communication industry evolves, Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) are driving the next wave of innovation. At Gatehouse Satcom, we empower satellite operators and satcom service providers to stay ahead of the curve with our cutting-edge 5G NTN Demonstrations. These demonstrations provide accurate, real-world data on the link and network performance of 5G NTN which allows operators to experience firsthand how the incorporation of 5G NTN technology can revolutionize their satellite operations.
Additionally, with our 3GPP-compliant 5G NTN NodeB ready for commercial service, you can seamlessly transition from demonstration to deployment, accelerating your time to market.
We understand that every satellite operator has both unique needs and existing system performance, and our 5G NTN Demonstrations are designed to accommodate that – supporting both transparent and regenerative mode. Whether you prefer a controlled lab environment or a live in-orbit satellite network setup, we provide the flexibility to meet your testing requirements:
Lab Setup
Live Setup – Transparent Mode
Live Setup – Regenerative Mode
Demonstrate Various System Configurations
5G NTN connectivity can be achieved through various system configurations, with each system architecture offering unique benefits and deployment characteristics. The 5G NTN NodeB can be integrated in different physical or logical locations—such as embedded satellite payload hardware, physical servers, cloud servers, or a combination of these options. This flexibility allows 5G NTN deployments to be tailored in terms of setup, capacity, and geographical placement.
To ensure accurate validation, testing must be conducted on a setup that closely matches the intended deployment. Our demonstration setups are designed precisely for this purpose, offering highly flexible configurations. The 5G NTN NodeB can run on embedded or x86 platforms, with interface endpoints located on the same physical system or distributed across different physical or virtual systems. Developed according to ORAN Alliance specifications, these demonstration setups provide a configurable sandbox environment that effectively replicates a live system.
5G NTN Demonstrations will strengthen your business case
At Gatehouse Satcom, we are pioneers in the satellite communications industry. With decades of expertise in Non-Terrestrial Networks, we deliver unparalleled insights into how 5G NTN technology can unlock new business opportunities for both existing and emerging satellite communications networks.
