Keysight First to Submit Protocol Conformance Test Case for 3GPP Release 17 Non-Terrestrial Networks Standards

07/31/2023

Keysight Technologies, Inc. has submitted the first protocol conformance test case for the 3rd Generation Partnership Project's (3GPP) Release 17 (Rel-17) standards for non-terrestrial networks (NTN) using narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) technology. The submission was verified using the Keysight Protocol Conformance Toolset.

Based on satellite-to-ground communication, NTNs bring secure, reliable, and high bandwidth connectivity to remote areas that do not have terrestrial network coverage. Widespread NTN deployments can improve economic conditions in remote areas with industries such as agriculture, energy, health, and transportation using low-cost and low-powered NB-IoT devices for applications including remote sensing, asset tracking, and surveillance.
