Keysight Technologies has added updates to its flagship Pathwave design software to support designs for 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN), by enabling architectural digital twins. Keysight says this changes the design flow from one that is hardware-centric to one that is simulation-centric.
“New 5G NTN systems have challenging complexity, which is stressing development lifecycles,” the company explained in a release, adding, “Simulations that use measurement-derived models deliver higher fidelity in mission-critical applications such as satellite communications and aerospace defense. System architects want to explore real-world ‘what if’ scenarios prior to building hardware to reduce technical risk and minimize time-to-market.”
