From validated to deployable: What 5G NTN NB-IoT service launch requires
Description
Satellite operators and MNOs have spent the last two years proving that 5G NTN NB-IoT works. Lab validations, in-orbit tests, and feasibility studies have built real confidence in the technology.
But launching a live satellite IoT service introduces a different category of questions. Which 3GPP features are actually deployable today? What do real performance numbers look like compared to theoretical models? How do device qualification, core integration, roaming, and operational handover work across five ecosystem parties?
In this webinar, Gatehouse Satcom’s Tomas Roenberg (Commercial Director) and Robert van der Pool (Product Development Director and 3GPP delegate) walk through the practical deployment challenges that sit between a successful validation and a live service, and show how the 3GPP standard and the Gatehouse Satcom NB-IoT eNodeB roadmap address them.
Agenda
The shift from validation to service launch - what changes when the goal becomes a live service
How 3GPP addresses deployment challenges - which features matter, which releases they sit in, and where gaps remain
The Gatehouse Satcom NB-IoT eNodeB roadmap - from standard to deployable software
Deployment readiness checklist - the questions every operator should be working through
