5G New Radio for Non-Terrestrial Systems in FR1 and FR2 spectrum
summary
A European project group of more than 100 engineers is building and testing 5G New Radio for non‑terrestrial networks: they complete the world's first demonstration of NR‑NTN over GEO Ku‑band, plan Ka‑band GEO and LEO Ka trials and aim for S/L‑band direct‑to‑handset tests; they use open‑source stacks like OpenAirInterface, run four demo tracks (one done), target 3GPP Release‑17 completion now and expect chipset availability ~18–24 months after that, and are building a space‑based gNodeB prototype.
