The emergence of 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) presents a revolutionary step in global digital connectivity, but it brings with it intricate regulatory and policy challenges. These directives play a pivotal role, influencing the design, services, and the very integrity of these networks. Key issues range from spectrum allocation and licensing to operational standards and the potential cyber threats these networks might face. Given the global nature of 5G NTN, coordinating regulations across international boundaries becomes paramount, as does addressing the growing concerns of space debris. Moreover, with the vast amount of data these networks handle, policies ensuring data privacy and cybersecurity are of utmost importance. Ultimately, understanding and navigating this complex regulatory landscape is crucial for the successful deployment and operation of 5G NTN.

  • New 5G NTN Spectrum Bands in FR1 and FR2
    by noreply@blogger.com (Zahid Ghadialy) (The 3G4G Blog) on May 31, 2023

    Release-17 includes two new FR1 bands for NTN; n255 (a.k.a. NTN 1.6GHz) and n256 (a.k.a. NTN 2GHz). The picture is from a slide in Rohde & Schwarz presentation available here. Quoting from an article by Reiner Stuhlfauth, Technology Manager Wireless, Rohde & Schwarz:Currently, several frequency ranges are being discussed within 3GPP for NTN. Some are in the FR1 legacy spectrum, and some beyond 10 GHz and FR2. The current FR1 bands discussed for NTN are:The S-band frequencies from 1980 to 2010 MHz in uplink (UL) direction and from 2170 to 2200 MHz in downlink (DL) direction (Band n256).The L-band frequencies from 1525 to 1559 MHz DL together with 1626.5 to 1660.5 MHz for the UL (Band n255).1These frequency ranges have lower path attenuation, and they’re already used in legacy communications. Thus, components are available now, but the bands are very crowded, and the usable bandwidth is restricted. Current maximum bandwidth is 20 MHz with up to 40-MHz overall bandwidth […]
