- What are the main types of non-terrestrial networks (NTN): GEO, MEO, LEO, multi-orbit, HAPS
- What opportunities do NTNs represent for telcos?
– Most popular use cases and main drivers
– We will contrast the direct-to-device (D2D) opportunities vs. the non-D2D ones
- Snapshot of those opportunities as of September 2024:
– How have the anticipated LEO-constellation and telco-satco service launches unfolded in reality?
– What has worked commercially, and what hasn’t (yet)?
– Any new significant partnerships?
- What are the main barriers to telcos developing and offering NTN-based services?
– Incomplete integration between mobile and satellite networks and how this will change with 3GPP Release 18 and 5G Advanced / 6G
– Device ecosystem and availability
– Technical immaturity and resilience: Insufficient broadband speeds and unacceptable latencies; need for line of sight for D2D
– Lack of coverage in certain regions, particularly while LEO constellation still in early phases (even Starlink): e.g. MEA, parts of APAC
– Spectrum, regulation and competition issues, including cross-border issues and domination by US-based LEOs
- Which telcos lead the charge in relation to partnerships with NTNs and what should the others do
