Keysight Technologies <\/b>reported demonstrating a new radio non-terrestrial networks (NR-NTN) connection in band n252 using Samsung Electronics<\/b>\u2018 next-generation modem chipset. <\/p>\n
Keysight on Thursday announced the demonstration at CES 2026 including live satellite-to-satellite mobility, calling it an important milestone for the direct-to-cell satellite market. The demonstration validated band n252 in an NTN system. Keysight noted this band is expected adopted by next-generation Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations.<\/p>\n
Explaining the demonstration, Keysight said it integrates Samsung\u2019s next-generation modem chipset with Keysight\u2019s NTN emulation portfolio \u201cto deliver real, standards-based NTN connectivity across a complete system. The setup validates end-to-end link performance, mobility between satellites, and multi-vendor interoperability, essential requirements for large-scale NTN deployments.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cTogether with Samsung\u2019s System LSI Business, we are demonstrating the live NTN connection in 3GPP band n252,\u201d commented Peng Cao, vice president and general manager of Keysight\u2019s Wireless Test Group. \u201cThe ecosystem is clearly accelerating toward bringing direct-to-cell satellite connectivity to mass-market devices. Keysight\u2019s NTN emulation environment enables chipset and device makers a controlled way to prove multi-satellite mobility, interoperability, and user-level performance, helping the industry move from concept to commercialization.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
