Gatehouse Satcom, Rohde & Schwarz formalize 5G NTN validation and testing for GEO and LEO networks

Gatehouse Satcom and Rohde & Schwarz have formalized a collaboration to strengthen testing of 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) connectivity. The effort combines Gatehouse’s 5G NTN software expertise with Rohde & Schwarz electronic test and measurement capabilities to support faster validation of standardized satellite connectivity across GEO- and LEO-NTN scenarios.

What Hype is tracking

Formalized test partnerships are key to scaling 5G NTN certification and interoperability, helping move standardized satellite connectivity from lab validation to broader network deployment.
This builds on the same test-and-certification momentum seen in Viasat and Rohde & Schwarz’s NB-NTN IoT certification test plan.
As satcom and 5G converge across GEO and LEO, test capacity and validation workflows become procurement-critical—an area also reflected in Rheinmetall’s satellite testing facility plans in Norway.
