Online Panel Series

Title: Online Panel: Non-Terrestrial Networks

Date: August 15, 2024

Time: 8am PT / 11am ET

Sponsored by: Keysight Technologies, NXP, Rohde & Schwarz USA and Maury Microwave

A new feature of 3GPP Release 17, NTNs enable cellular communications to be delivered by satellite, providing secure, reliable and high bandwidth coverage to isolated locations globally. The initial technology enabled by NTN is narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT), which enables many new use cases, including asset tracking, remote monitoring and emergency services. The panel will discuss the challenges and solutions for device design and testing.

Moderator: Pat Hindle, Media Director, Microwave Journal^®
Panelist: Raymond Shen, PhD, Director, 5G/6G Government Solutions, Keysight Technologies
Panelist: Wim Rouwet, Senior Principal Engineer and Distinguished Member of Technical Staff, NXP
Panelist: Reiner Stuhlfauth, Wireless Technology Manager at Rohde & Schwarz
