This white paper introduces non-terrestrial networks and explains how satellites and aerial platforms extend connectivity beyond the reach of terrestrial networks. It reviews NTN platforms, 3GPP Release 17 standards, and use cases such as IoT, disaster response, and remote coverage. Key technical challenges including latency, Doppler shift, propagation loss, and channel modeling are examined, along with an overview of test considerations needed to support reliable NTN deployment and integration with terrestrial networks.
