Panel: Beyond fibre: converging networks for global connectivity

Satellite communications are rapidly advancing, offering solutions to bridge connectivity gaps in remote and underserved regions. The integration of LEO satellites and Non-Terrestrial Networks with terrestrial networks is reflective of a fundamental shift in how telcos view the potential of these partnerships. This panel will explore the evolving role of satellite infrastructure, including ground stations, within the telecommunications ecosystem, examining the synergies, challenges, and opportunities arising from this integration.
