Keysight Technologies is collaborating on the Airbus UpNext SpaceRAN demonstrator to advance 5G satellite communications. This is one such project that will test 5G non-terrestrial network technology in space. The team will conduct this test using a low-earth satellite. Keysight is an essential testing tool needed in this highly technological mission. This collaboration is dedicate to the innovation of 5G NTN technology. Reliable satellite links are vital for future telecommunications.
Advancing Global Satellite Connectivity
The project explores how 5G signals work in a space environment. It targets seamless transitions between land and satellite networks. This ensures users stay connected in remote areas. The demonstrator will test how hardware handles extreme orbital conditions. High-speed data links remain a core goal for this initiative.
“Participating in the Airbus UpNext SpaceRAN demonstrator is a testament to our commitment to advancing the future of satellite-enabled 5G. Our test and measurement solutions are designed to ensure the reliability and performance of next-generation networks, and we’re proud to support Airbus in this pioneering step toward standardized 5G NTN from LEO,” said Eric Taylor, Vice President, Aerospace, Defense and Government Solutions at Keysight.
“Keysight has a long-standing and deeply rooted presence in Europe, with local R&D, engineering, and service teams working hand in hand with customers and partners across the region. Our collaboration with Airbus on SpaceRAN reflects our commitment to strengthening Europe’s leadership and technological sovereignty in advanced connectivity, aerospace, and 5G innovation. By combining global expertise with strong local execution, we help ensure that next-generation non-terrestrial networks are developed, validated, and deployed in close alignment with European priorities,” said Thierry Locquette, Vice President of Sales, Europe at Keysight Technologies.
The project highlights the growing importance of non-terrestrial networks. It brings together leaders in aerospace and electronic testing. These efforts will shape the next generation of mobile services. Success here could lead to better coverage across the entire planet.
