Keysight and Capgemini Validate 5G New Radio RAN Solution for Non-Terrestrial Networks

05/17/2024

Keysight Technologies, Inc. and Capgemini have successfully validated non-terrestrial network (NTN) test scenarios in a set-up using Capgemini's 5G New Radio (NR) central unit (CU) and distributed unit (DU) framework supporting NTN functionality. The validation was made possible with Keysight's UeSIM UE Emulation RAN and Propsim Channel Emulator solutions, which offer end-to-end performance by emulating real network traffic.

The validation is based on 3GPP Release 17 standards which includes significant enhancements to several radio access network functionalities. In the context of NTN, 5G radio access network (RAN) gNodeB base stations continue to play a crucial role, especially in satellite-based communication systems. gNode B brings more reliable connectivity, extending the range of 5G to remote areas, while also paving the way for innovation and new NTN deployments, such as internet of things (IoT) and connected vehicles.
