Selected by Industry Leaders across the world to deliver training programs at scale:
Why This Training?
The shift toward Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and Open RAN is no longer on the horizon, it’s happening now.
But here’s the challenge:
Should base station functionality for LEO sit in the gateway, the satellite, or be split?
How do you balance coverage, bandwidth, latency, and SWaP across transparent, regenerative, and hybrid satellite networks?
How do you navigate multi-vendor O-RAN interoperability while meeting 3GPP standards?
This course goes beyond panel discussions and research papers. In just 4 hours, you’ll tackle the real dilemmas that CTOs, architects, and R&D leaders are solving today.
What You’ll Learn
(4 × 1h Modules)
NTN standardization aspects – 3GPP & O-RAN
Understand how NTN is being defined across 3GPP Releases and O-RAN Alliance specifications, and what this means for future interoperability, device support, and vendor ecosystems. This module ensures you can track and influence the standards that shape your deployments
NTN deployment & architecture design considerations
Explore transparent, regenerative, and hybrid satellite network models, and the trade-offs between latency, coverage, and link performance. Gain clarity on where to place critical RAN functions — in gateways, satellites, or split — and what that means for spectrum efficiency and scalability.
TN–NTN interactions with AI performance optimizations
Dive into how terrestrial and non-terrestrial systems integrate, and where AI/ML brings the biggest performance gains from resource allocation to handovers and network orchestration. Learn how automation reduces complexity in multi-domain networks.
NTN Testing & Validation
Review frameworks, KPIs, and tools for validating NTN deployments across vendors and architectures. See how leading organizations are approaching proof-of-concepts and trials, and understand how to de-risk your investments through rigorous testing.
Meet Your Instructor: Dr. Sridhar Rajagopal
Few people combine standardization leadership, deployment experience, and industry thought leadership like Sridhar:
SVP of Access Technologies at Mavenir: led O-RAN deployment & standardization.
Board member, Open RAN Center for Integration and Deployment (ORCID).
Author of Open RAN: The Definitive Guide (Wiley): the go-to reference on O-RAN, available on Amazon.
Lead author of the 5G Americas White Paper on NTN.
Speaker at IWPC’s NTN Workshop (hosted by Viasat).
Contributor to TM Forum’s UNITe Catalyst project on unified TN–NTN integration.
mmWave & massive MIMO pioneer at Samsung, driving 5G design and standardization.
This is not generic training. You’ll be learning directly from an industry authority shaping the standards, writing the books, and influencing deployments worldwide.
