Release 17 – What's All the Fuss About?

3GPP´s Release 17 defines functionalities for New Radio as well as NB-IoT in satellite systems. It is expected to be finalized in June 2022, to go live in satellite systems shortly thereafter. If you are a satellite operator and/or service provider who is not very familiar with 3GPP or the upcoming releases, but who would like to understand the fuss about what Release 17 is, this webinar is for you.


We will discuss the purpose of bringing NB-IoT with Release 17 into space and what the expected features will be. Examples of supported use cases in the required system architecture will be discussed on a high level, as well.


This webinar will be the first of a two-part series, with part 2 addressing the system architecture, focusing on requirements for UEs, the satellites, and the ground infrastructure.

We will go live Wednesday, May 11th at 3:00 PM CEST.

We hope to see you there.
