Gatehouse Satcom and Druid Software have signed an MOU to collaborate on efforts to enhance Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) services — this partnership aims to integrate satellite and terrestrial network solutions, focusing on creating a more accessible and interoperable infrastructure for the satellite communications industry.
The collaboration is set to deliver…
- The joint development of a solution that integrates Gatehouse Satcom’s satellite Radio Access Network (RAN) with Druid’s Raemis™ core network platform, tailored to enable robust NTN services in line with the latest 3GPP Release 17 standards.
- A tested and verified NTN infrastructure solution, offering satellite operators a comprehensive, streamlined path to verifying and deploying advanced NTN connectivity services.
- An opportunity for both companies to perform tests on the combined solution improving the quality of the joint project as well as enhancing the quality of each company’s individual services.
This initiative is poised to provide satellite operators with a fully integrated, out-of-the-box solution. This offering addresses a critical industry gap by eliminating the complexity and challenges associated with piecing together disparate systems to enable global connectivity. By ensuring interoperability and ease of deployment, Gatehouse Satcom and Druid Software are establishing a new standard for the satellite communications ecosystem.
Leveraging Gatehouse Satcom’s expertise in advanced SATCOM solution, and Druid’s core network technologies for 4G/5G and IoT applications, this partnership fuses the firms’ individual strengths to develop a comprehensive, NTN infrastructure solution. Their collaboration addresses the immediate demands of today’s complex communication landscape and also lays the foundational stones for the next generation of global connectivity networks.
VP Commercial Jesper Noer of Gatehouse Satcom said, “Through our partnership with Druid Software, we are excited to bring to the market a solution that not only meets the technical demands of 5G NTN services but also simplifies the operational challenges faced by satellite operators. Our two companies really complement each other, and we are excited to offer shared clients a complete NTN solution with marks of the best in both core and RAN combined.”
Richard Swardh, VP of Sales for Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) at Druid Software said, “Our collaboration is built on a foundation of interoperability and ease of use. We are committed to delivering a solution that enables satellite operators to seamlessly integrate our combined technologies, heralding a new era of connectivity solutions.”
