Rohde & Schwarz Satellite Industry Day 2025: Connecting the World with New Space and 5G NTN Technologies
May 27, 2025 | Rohde & SchwarzEstimated reading time: 1 minute
After four successful online events with over 1000 participants, Rohde & Schwarz is hosting its fifth Satellite Industry Day on June 3, 2025, on-site at its Munich campus. Rohde & Schwarz test and measurement experts and partners from the industry will present topics from 5G Non-Terresterial Network (NTN) and satellite testing to monitoring and regulatory issues. During breaks participants can experience cutting-edge test and measurement solutions.
After the keynote speech from Rohde & Schwarz Executive Vice President Test & Measurement Christina Gessner, Reiner Stuhlfauth from Rohde & Schwarz discusses tackling the challenges of NTN evolution on the path to 6G, including technology aspects, challenges, and testing. His colleague Goce Talaganov focuses on ensuring 5G NTN device performance, presenting market trends, use cases, challenges, and test solutions.
Obilor Nwamadi from Viavi Solutions presents an end-to-end emulation system for evaluating NTN connectivity to guarantee return on investment before design or deployment.
Rohde & Schwarz expert Dr. Yvonne Weitsch explores testing and technologies for Electronically Steered Array (ESA) antennas in satellite and NTN integration, discussing their advantages and proposing test solutions.
Prof. Dr. Klaus Schilling from the Center for Telematics discusses the future of space with smarter, smaller, and more cooperative satellites, highlighting the shift to networked small satellites and innovative technologies for global connectivity.
Alexander Spaniol from Terma Technologies GmbH covers the transformative role of Software-Defined Radio (SDR) in advancing space technology, emphasizing its flexibility and role in satellite communications, testing, and ground stations.
Rohde & Schwarz expert Pia Feurstein talks about improving signal quality in satellite communication with antenna combining with the help of the R&S MSR4 multipurpose satellite receiver. Her colleague Jean-Pierre Messmer introduces Space Nexus, a software solution for end-to-end satellite link channel emulation to validate systems in a laboratory environment.
Uwe Baeder from Rohde & Schwarz discusses the regulatory framework for space communication, focusing on the ITU's role, coordination procedures, evolving regulations, and key issues for WRC-2712.

Beyond the Board: Orbital High Ground—Why Space Superiority Is Slipping Away
06/17/2025 | Jesse Vaughan -- Column: Beyond the Board“The next war might be won—or lost—22,000 miles above Earth.” That’s not science fiction. It’s the stark reality defense planners are beginning to confront as space transitions from a support domain to a full-spectrum warfighting environment. For decades, the United States held an uncontested advantage in space, relying on exquisite, few, and highly capable systems to enable precision warfare, real-time intelligence, and global communications. Today, that edge is under siege.
