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 vehiclesD2D 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.
