Space and NTN in the lab: a terminal under test against a satellite pass simulator. The loop, step by step: 1. A lab roof, a terminal and an orbit above. 2. A test satellite rises on schedule. 3. Instruments confirm the response took effect. 4. The terminal tracks and locks the beam. 5. Time and place are fixed to every sample. 6. A test message crosses the link. 7. Relays carry the packets without reading them. 8. Signatures are checked before any model runs. 9. Latency and loss are logged per pass. 10. The edge releases confirmed results only. 11. The lab compares passes on one chart. 12. The alert arrives with its evidence attached. 13. Record, proof and action are archived together. 14. Everything settles back to idle.

Space and NTNSpace and NTN, inside Frontier labs: 6G integrated terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, orbital edge computing, lunar and cislunar communications and navigation, autonomous constellation operations and more. Every item is traced to its specification, from Rec. ITU-R M.2160 (IMT-2030 framework) to 3GPP TR 22.870 (6G use cases, Rel-20), and runs on the open Observatory Protocol.
Plan with usArchitectureThe protocol01What it is
The space segment end to end: orbits and constellations, spacecraft buses, communications and Earth observation payloads, inter-satellite links, tracking and command, space safety, launch, and the licensing and filings that let a system operate over a site. Each technology below carries what it is, what we do with it, and the standard it is drawn against.
Frontier · Satellite and space systems
A single system where towers, HAPS and satellites act as one network with shared mobility and management.
We design and support.

Frontier · Satellite and space systems
Payloads that demodulate, route or run base-station functions in orbit, cutting gateway dependence and latency.
We design and integrate.
3GPP Rel-19 NR NTN enhancements (regenerative payload) · 3GPP TS 38.300
Frontier · Satellite and space systems
Satellites serving unmodified phones in terrestrial mobile spectrum to extend coverage at the edge of networks.
