Beyond the Hype: Engineering 5G NR-NTN for Satellite-to-UE Communication

Course Description

As 5G matures, the last gap in truly global coverage isn’t on the ground — it’s in orbit. 3GPP Release 17 pulled satellites directly into the 5G ecosystem, but connecting a handheld device to a gNodeB across 35,000 km is a very different engineering problem than connecting it to a rooftop. Join Rohde & Schwarz for a focused technical session on 5G NR NTN — past the hype and into the real engineering and testing challenges of satellite-to-UE communication. You’ll also get a live look at R&S Constellation Insight and what it means for NTN test workflows.

What will you learn?

  • The foundational concepts behind 5G NR Non-Terrestrial Networks
  • The unique engineering challenges of satellite-to-UE communication
  • What testing NTN systems actually requires in practice
  • A live demonstration of R&S Constellation Insight
  • And more…
