The 70/2 Mbps PHY-rate for DL and UL, respectively, are requirements for a satellite technology to be considered 5G. NR NTN may yield greater data-rates than that. The increased availability of bandwidth will mean more eMBB deployments with a wider channel bandwidth and along with that Ku-band deployments would be expected to work with directional antennas, which potentially could mean a better SNR for the UE-gNB interface. Together the increased channel bandwidth and SNR would mean a greater achievable data rate.
