  "account": "Keysight Technologies has secured a significant contract with Korea Testing Laboratory (KTL) to expand its satellite device testing capabilities, a move that underscores the industry's shift from LTE-based direct-to-device services to New Radio Non-Terrestrial Network (NR-NTN) technology. The agreement, detailed in a press release, sees KTL adopting Keysight’s Wireless Network Emulation Solutions to bolster its wireless validation portfolio. These solutions enable testing of NR-NTN radio frequencies and Radio Resource Management, crucial for satellite-enabled 5G devices and networks. The selection comes after Keysight’s solutions received approval from the Global Certification Forum (GCF), which has expanded its validated NR-NTN test cases. The transition to NR-NTN is critical as it extends mobile communication testing and certification from terrestrial networks to satellite communications. Song Tae-seung, KTL’s Director General of S.M.A.R.T. Industry Division, noted the importance of NR-NTN infrastructure, which integrates mobile testing and certification methodologies from 2G to 5G into satellite communications. Muthu Kumaran, Keysight’s General Manager of Device Acceptance Solutions, highlighted the industry’s shift from specification to implementation of NR-NTN standards, with Keysight’s solutions facilitating this transition for device manufacturers, chipset vendors, network operators, and satellite service providers. KTL had previously conducted LTE direct-to-device testing before broadening its scope to NR-NTN validation.",
