Session Description
Satellite and NTN in the 5G era: coming to a place near you
Hosted by GSMA Intelligence
In a landmark moment, Apple's iPhone 14 has paved the way for transformative growth in the satellite industry by seamlessly integrating satellite connectivity. This breakthrough, coupled with the expansive coverage from LEO operators like Starlink, OneWeb/Eutelsat, and Amazon's Kuiper, signifies a monumental shift in the industry landscape. In parallel, the B2B and IoT opportunity has also garnered renewed interest given the growing coverage availability and lower delivery cost structure now that NTN standards are enshrined in 3GPP.
As the industry gains momentum, the satellite-enabled market is set to target 500-600 million people lacking coverage (7% of the global population), along with 300 million on the coverage edge and a staggering 2 billion IoT devices (10% of the addressable IoT base).
Explore how satellites provide gap-free remote global connectivity and act as fail-safes in mission-critical scenarios, particularly in industries such as maritime, agriculture, and transportation. Join us in uncovering the potential of integrated dual-connectivity solutions, promising lower costs, device simplicity, and optimal reliability for existing embedded IoT applications.
As we move from experimental pilots to commercial launches in 2024 and 2025, join us as we explore strategic priorities, revenue expansion, competition dynamics, technology advances, viable business models, and the regulatory landscape in revolutionizing global connectivity through the seamless integration of satellites with mobile networks (4G and 5G). Equal focus on tapping into consumer and B2B/IoT customers provides a meaningful revenue uplift opportunity for telcos, satellite operators, technology companies, and systems integrators alike while realising the long-touted ambition of ubiquitous service availability.
