Amarisoft NTN

Experimental

This is an experimental blueprint intended for Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) evaluation in an emulated environment.

This blueprint includes a fully emulated 5G Standalone (SA) Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) using an Amarisoft gNB, Amarisoft UE, and Amarisoft 5GC running over the RF Simulator. It operates in band n510 (40 MHz, 30 kHz SCS) to analyze the control plane and data plane over a satellite-style access.

Use the command brc install network amarisoft-ntn.yaml to deploy the network. It should finish without errors and print out the Kubernetes resource names that were created. Check for the status of the blueprint using the command brc observe. Wait until all the Elements other than the UE are in the STATUS set to 1/1 Y state.
