Overview

5G-EMERGE is a European collaborative project investigating how satellite and terrestrial 5G networks can converge to deliver media services at scale. For general project information, publications, and partner details, see the public dissemination site at 5g-emerge.com.

The programme is structured across six strands: a governance strand (S1), a cross-cutting end-to-end content delivery platform (S2), and four use-case testbed strands — Direct to Home (S3), Direct to Vehicle (S4), Direct to Edge (S5), and Direct to Device (S6). Each testbed strand validates a different deployment scenario, from satellite delivery to domestic antennas through to 5G NR-NTN broadcast direct to handheld devices.

About This Site

This site brings together test status, documentation, and tooling into a single coherent reference for the testing side of the project. It is not the canonical source for programme-level information — authoritative details on project structure, architecture, and test definitions are held in the source documents (TVR, SAI, GTL, and related materials). Where this site intentionally diverges from those sources, the differences are recorded in the Source Delta Tracking page.

The site is currently aligned to Phase 2 of the programme, which focuses on non-functional and end-to-end performance testing, and reflects the state of testing as of the April 2026 Quarterly Technical Review.
