 Bachelor Thesis  Dominic Richter  2026II  Abstract  The standardization of 3GPP Release 17 Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) enables standardized Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) devices to communicate directly with satellite constellations, theoretically addressing the 85% global cellular coverage gap. However, treating these high-latency, power-constrained satellite links as direct equivalents to terrestrial networks introduces significant system inefficiencies. This thesis presents…

Raj Nakarja spent a decade designing wireless and embedded systems across wearables, industrial IoT, smart home, and consumer electronics. It’s the kind of background that gives you a clear view of what works in connected product development, and more importantly, what doesn’t. The recurring frustration, as Raj describes it, is that every new IoT project…
