How to ensure NTN direct to cell (DTC) device performance

Non-terrestrial networks (NTN), introduced in 3GPP Release 17, are transforming wireless communications by enabling satellite connectivity for a broad range of devices – from smartphones and IoT sensors to vehicles and critical infrastructure. As NTN gains prominence across industries, understanding the nuances of different approaches – including non-3GPP solutions, IoT-NTN, NR-NTN, and direct to cell (DTC) – is crucial.

This webinar will briefly outline these different approaches and then focus on DTC (also known as D2C or SCS – supplementary coverage from space), explaining the unique testing challenges of satellite communications and demonstrating how to ensure optimal DTC device performance with the CMX500 one-box tester.

Attendees will learn about:

• The latest developments and deployment strategies in the NTN market.
• An overview of NTN technologies, with a specific emphasis on direct to cell (DTC).
• Innovative NTN test solutions and new capabilities for validating DTC performance.
