As satellite and terrestrial communications converge under global&nbsp;3GPP standards, network operators, chipset vendors, device manufacturers and infrastructure providers face new validation challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>5G NTN introduces a new class of performance requirements beyond traditional terrestrial mobile testing, including large Doppler frequency shifts, long propagation delays, moving satellite handovers and hybrid terrestrial-satellite interoperability. The collaboration brings together Square Peg&#8217;s long-standing expertise in&nbsp;satellite communications&nbsp;and channel emulation, combined with&nbsp;VIAVI&#8217;s leadership in wireless test and optimization, including deep experience supporting 3GPP technology evolution from 3G through 5G and beyond. Developers can emulate end-to-end 3GPP network, channel and device connectivity, using the Square Peg RLS-2100 emulator to recreate the physical channel conditions and the VIAVI TM500 Network Tester to simulate the user equipment.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"mb-0\">Also Read: What is a GNSS Simulator?<\/h4>\n<p><em>&#8220;As commercial interest in Direct-to-Device (D2D) connectivity,&nbsp;<\/em><em>LEO<\/em><em>&nbsp;constellations and integrated terrestrial-space networks continue to accelerate, robust test environments are becoming essential to successful deployment,<strong>&#8221; said Ian Langley, Senior Vice President, Wireless, Security and Applications Business Unit,&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><strong><em>VIAVI<\/em><\/strong><em><strong>.&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8220;This partnership provides customers with access to comprehensive validation capabilities designed to de-risk product development, accelerating their time to market.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;<\/em><em>Square Peg Communications<\/em><em>&nbsp;built its reputation on solving complex satellite communications challenges,&#8221; <strong>said Michael Gertsman, President, Square Peg Communications<\/strong>. &#8220;We are partnering with&nbsp;<\/em><em>VIAVI<\/em><em>&nbsp;to combine trusted satcom expertise with one of the most respected names in wireless conformance and performance testing.
