Expert insights on-demand

Resilient communications from space

The European Space Agency has planned several activities in the domain of resilient communications for governmental purposes, including those related to Direct-to-Device (D2D) communications. ESA plans to initiate several in-orbit demonstrations which will support future resilient satellite communication services.

Boosting LEO and GEO satellite ROI with Deep Packet Inspection: Smarter Bandwidth, and enablement of end-to-end security

Embedding Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology lets satellite operators see and shape every flow on LEO and GEO links, turning scarce spectrum into high value, revenue generating traffic. That same deep packet intelligence enables real time policy enforcement while blocking abuse, delivering a secure, carrier-grade experience to every satellite-connected user.

Cloud-native ground segment orchestration: providing at scale fully managed communications service

This presentation explores how applying cloud-native principles and orchestration can turn ground operations into flexible, software-defined platforms. Skynopy outlines the practical considerations behind this shift, including the key challenges it introduces around security and sovereignty, and how these are being addressed.

OCUDU for NTN: A sovereign open-source RAN for European SatCom

This presentation shows how OCUDU, often described as the “Linux of RAN,” can strengthen European technological sovereignty and strategic autonomy through transparent, secure, interoperable, and vendor-neutral RAN architectures.

Detecting GNSS jamming and spoofing in real-world environments

Satellite-based navigation systems operate in increasingly complex and unpredictable real-world radio-frequency environments, where signal disturbances are often dynamic, ambiguous, and difficult to classify. This presentation focuses on practical approaches for identifying GNSS interference directly in operational scenarios.

Enabling scalable and efficient RF monitoring through DIFI and modern RF architectures

Operating a proprietary ground station network for satellite constellation monitoring is fraught with scalability and efficiency hurdles. This session identifies the most common pain points in current RF monitoring setups and demonstrates how the DIFI standard and modern RF architectures provide a scalable, future-proof solution for today´s space operators.

From prototype to constellation: Scaling satellite manufacturing with DFMAIT

With the rise of LEO satellite constellations, manufacturers are shifting toward iterative design, hardware-in-the-loop validation, and continuous test-driven development. This presentation explores how engaging customers early during the prototype phase helps shape future production flows, refine requirements, and gain strategic insight into evolving RF test architectures and instrumentation needs required to scale satellite manufacturing.

Accelerating satellite payload readiness with ATE solutions

This presentation introduces the ATE solutions from Rohde & Schwarz as a high-performance turnkey solution for satellite transmit/receive module (TRM) testing. Designed for characterization/verification, environmental testing in production and R&D environments, automated testing ensures reliable validation of active phased array components used in modern satellite systems, while reducing overall test time and operational complexity.

Virtual ground - what people think it is vs. what it really is

The presentation gives an insight into practical considerations of virtualized Satcom infrastructures and how that should be reflected in system design and requirements definition. The necessary step to go beyond analog thinking on the system level will show the way forward to practical operations.

Managing complexity in satellite electronics validation

Dr. Michael Hahn will discuss the increasing challenges of validating satellite electronics. Real world examples from current Airbus programs illustrate how AI-driven optimization of test plans, fault modelling, and resource allocation makes a decisive contribution to closing the growing performance gap.

5G NTN takes flight: A deep dive into NR-NTN technology, testing aspects, and the road to 6G

This presentation will provide a deep dive into NTN technology’s evolution like transparent or regenerative payload architecture, enhanced mobility scenarios up to multi-connectivity, NTN physical layer challenges, protocol and signaling details as well as testing and measurement aspects for future 6G unified networks.

5G NTN at the tipping point - Moving from demonstrations to commercial deployment

This presentation highlights the transition of 5G NTN NB-IoT from early prototyping to commercial readiness. Sateliot, Nordic Semiconductor, and Gatehouse Satcom share their end-to-end journey combining a LEO satellite network, cellular IoT silicon and modules, and 3GPP-compliant NTN base-station software.

In-field performance testing of Non-Terrestrial Networks

This presentation explores the complexities of satellite communication: from current technologies to emerging trends. It investigates the applicability of standardized testing methods to Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), detailing what can be tested today and outlining the future of NTN testing.

From interference to intelligence: EMC and TEMPEST testing for next-generation satellites

This presentation outlines modern testing approaches, combining system-level EMC strategies to enable reliable, secure, and high-performance next-generation satellites.
