Join us for the 29th Spectrum Summit on June 4, 2025
Non-Terrestrial Networks & Terrestrial Integration – Technology, Regulation, and Market Perspectives
Direct-to-device (D2D) is quickly emerging as the industry's new buzzword, promising a new era of mass-market satellite connectivity.
With the potential to connect billions of devices – from smartphones to IoT devices and vehicles – D2D could close connectivity gaps and drive significant growth for both satellite and mobile operators. But will it live up to this promise and make the digital divide a thing of the past by 2030? Or will technical, commercial, and regulatory challenges stand in the way?
Participation in the digital event is free of charge.
Explore the future non-terrestrial networks, device-to-device integration, and the critical interplay of spectrum, regulatory frameworks, and terrestrial components.
