5G non-terrestrial networks
Stay ahead in the converging terrestrial and satellite communications market.
How can you unlock the opportunity of 5G NTN standardisation? With extensive experience in both cellular and satellite communications and strong partnerships across the ecosystem, we help you accelerate development and de-risk deployment at every stage.
Satellite operators need to innovate to compete
Maximising the opportunity presented by 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN) is crucial as the industry moves towards standardisation. Disruption of existing business models mean that established operators need a powerful new offering. Convergence is well under way, and satellite operators have to innovate and expand to succeed.
From closing the business case to constellation system design, from payloads to terminals, we can help you stay ahead of the competition by enabling you to capitalise on emerging technologies, turning them into a competitive advantage for your business.
Beyond 5G
We don't stop at 5G NTN, our roadmap extends to 6G, offering you the strategic insights needed to future-proof your business as the industry continues to evolve. We are with you every step of the way, from concept to deployment, ensuring the success of your next-generation products and services.
The future of connectivity: our 6G NTN roadmap
Telecommunications is on the cusp of a transformative shift, as the industry progresses from terrestrial 5G networks towards a future of ubiquitous high-speed connectivity.
From proof-of concept deployments showcasing the potential of 5G NTN in the next couple of years, to the 6G NTN era envisioned for 2029 and beyond, our "Roadmap to 6G NTN", outlines what we expect to be the key milestones in this exciting journey, and when they will arrive.
The capability to succeed as networks converge
TTP leverages extensive expertise in both telecoms and satcoms to deliver comprehensive solution development for NTN. Our capabilities include end-to-end system and service specification, ensuring seamless integration between satellite and terrestrial networks. We specialise in the development, testing, and integration of key NTN technologies, providing innovative and robust solutions tailored to client needs. We are also deeply immersed in advancing the 3GPP NTN ecosystem, helping shape the standards and frameworks critical to the industry's evolution. This integrated approach enables organisations to innovate and stay competitive in the rapidly advancing landscape of NTN connectivity.
