en.Wedoany.com Reported - TTP plc is developing a new 5G NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) modem module. Designed with a software-defined and multi-band architecture, this module is tailored for Ku and Ka band satellite terminals, offering high flexibility and upgradability to meet operators' requirements for interoperability and long-life terminals.

The software-defined nature of the module supports rapid field updates, while its open architecture avoids vendor lock-in risks and maintains performance through hardware acceleration. Its design meets stringent size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) requirements for defense and commercial applications, including drone connectivity. The module features built-in observability, providing full visibility into the physical layer and protocol stack to support network optimization, diagnostics, and performance analysis. Its data stream can be used for AI-assisted reasoning and optimization control.

Paul Tindall, Head of Advanced Technology for 5G NTN at TTP, stated that satellite terminals need to be built for change, with standards, waveforms, and deployment models evolving rapidly. The modem architecture must offer flexibility, observability, and upgradability. Designed with these principles at its core, the novel architecture of this modem module enables satellite operators and manufacturers to benefit from reuse, accelerating time to market.

The module inherits TTP's decades of modem design experience, from TTPCom and BGAN to 5G NTN, combining proven wireless engineering expertise with an independent protocol stack and chipset approach.
