NR5G Weekly Radar
A curated weekly review of developments in 5G, 6G, NTN, RF, satellite communications and wireless systems.
The Weekly Radar tracks technical change without turning NR5G into a link-heavy news feed. Each issue selects a small number of developments, checks the primary evidence and separates research results, standards activity, product claims, patents and commercial signals.
Latest issue — 24–30 August 2026
The inaugural issue covers the Maastricht 3GPP RAN working-group week, dynamic-NTN channel estimation, multi-timescale O-RAN control, distributed-MIMO localization, new wireless silicon and two patent applications.

What the Radar covers
- standards and spectrum activity from 3GPP, ITU, ETSI, IEEE, O-RAN and regulators;
- peer-reviewed papers and clearly labelled preprints;
- university laboratories, prototypes, testbeds and field trials;
- wireless startups, products and deployments;
- funding, acquisitions and partnerships as ecosystem signals; and
- patent publications and grants, kept distinct from evidence that a method works.
The selection and verification rules are documented in the Radar methodology.
