5G NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks) Design, Architecture and Implementation
3 DAYS
INSTRUCTOR LED WORKSHOP
“OUR COURSES CAN BE SPECIALLY TAILORED TO ADDRESS YOUR REQUIREMENT – TELECONTRAN”
COURSE OBJECTIVES
5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) are rapidly evolving, revolving around integrating satellites with terrestrial 5G infrastructure and airborne platforms to extend connectivity beyond traditional ground-based infrastructure. The global 5G NTN market is experiencing substantial growth. In fact, there’s a growing trend of NTNs partnering with cellular carriers to offer integrated services. 5G NTNs are poised to revolutionize global connectivity by complementing terrestrial networks, driving significant market growth and enabling a wide array of applications across various sectors.
Telecontran’s 3-day Workshop on 5G NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks) Design, Architecture and Implementation is designed to provide a concise synopsis of the overview of 5G NTN addressing the network elements (ground, space, and user segment), orbits and orbital propagation aspects, Earth-satellite geometry, and link budget computation. NR NTN architectures and network protocols, NTN radio interface, QoS, NTN radio resource management, NTN’s involvement in 5G evolving towards 6G are specifically highlighted and discussed throughout the workshop.
After successful completion of this 3-day workshop participants will be able to
- Understand the integration of satellite communication networks into 5G network along with a synopsis of 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks.
- Explore NTN Use cases and applications as well as 3GPP NTN Standards and Specifications.
- Learn how to design hybrid terrestrial-satellite 5G networks and integrate NTNs with existing terrestrial 5G infrastructure.
- Gain a foundational understanding of 5G NTN Standards and Protocols coupled with interfaces and network management techniques.
COURSE CURRICULUM
This course is specially designed for Radio Network Planners, Transmission Engineers, Core Network Engineers, Project Managers, RF Engineers & Technicians and frequency spectrum and policy makers from Regulators, in a word, anyone looking for an understanding of the technologies and interworking requirements of the next generation terrestrial and non-terrestrial network.

OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT TELECONTRAN !!
This course has given me more insight on 5G network as a whole, from introduction to Smart Cities. The presentation was well outlined and learning objectives were successfully completed.
It was a fantastic workshop done by the instructor where I learnt a lot about 5G Technology.
The workshop is very well delivered and the explanations on VSAT Design, Link Budget, Link Analysis etc. are very clear to understand.
Excellent introductory course presented by an excellent instructor who was so engaging and supportive that I did not hesitate to ask questions; His answers and presentation was great and understandable.
There was very clear explanation on aeronautical, maritime and 5G along with many use cases which will help with future assignments.
