We kicked off our 2026 webinar programme with a fascinating exploration of small cells and non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), following the recent publication of our paper on this subject (download here).
Watch the recording below for:
- Discussion of the technical synergies between small cells and NTNs Presenters explained how proven small cell design principles (e.g., modular architectures, compact efficient radios, open interfaces) can help overcome engineering challenges facing 5G NTN deployments.
- Real-world case studies Hear how integrating 5G mmWave access with Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite backhaul has been validated in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA).
- Insights from multiple industry experts Representatives from SCF members RANsemi, AccelerComm, Radisys and Microamp participated in the discussion, sharing real-world experience and perspectives on NTN technology and deployments.
