Strategic Objectives
• Master the 3GPP Release 17 and 18 technical specifications for Non-Terrestrial Networks.
• Understand the software adaptations required for high-velocity LEO and GEO constellations.
• Implement robust handover and timing advance mechanisms for seamless global roaming.
• Navigate the complex intersection of aerospace engineering and telecommunications standards.
The Core Challenge
Terrestrial 5G protocols fail when faced with the extreme latency, Doppler shifts, and orbital dynamics of satellite communication.
