Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) Certification Hub
Non-Terrestrial Networks introduce a new certification paradigm that blends satellite regulatory frameworks with 3GPP cellular standards. This hub provides practical, certification-focused guidance to help device manufacturers navigate regulatory approval, industry certification, and operator acceptance for NTN-enabled devices.
Foundational NTN Certification Guidance
1. Certification Requirements for Devices Supporting Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)
A high-level overview of regulatory, 3GPP, PTCRB, and GCF certification considerations applicable to NTN-capable devices, including hybrid terrestrial/NTN products.
2. Certification Requirements for NB-IoT NTN vs NR NTN Devices
A comparative deep dive highlighting certification scope, risks, and strategic differences between NB-IoT NTN and NR NTN implementations.

Not Sure Where to Start?
Many companies encounter certification delays because requirements are addressed too late—or in the wrong sequence.
If you’re unsure which certifications apply to your device, how they overlap, or how they impact your development timeline, Prowess IoT helps define the right certification path early—reducing risk, rework, and costly surprises.
