活动概述
Momentum in the telco-satellite convergence story is now shifting from pilots to commercial launches, some of which have already happened, although most of which will come online in 2025 and in the 2-3 years following. This reflects growing ecosystem maturity and pragmatism among operators of the value of satellite in bridging coverage gaps while targeting new (potentially higher) revenue streams. Besides Starlink, OneWeb/Eutelsat, Amazon’s Kuiper and the Apple/Globalstar constellation, new competitors and constellations promise even an increasingly vibrant market dynamic. Activity has also expanded to the handset and chipset sectors to integrate NTN compatibility with their own designs – presenting an order of magnitude increase in the addressable customer base for satellite-enabled services. The satellite-enabled market targets 500-600m people who are out of coverage (7% of global population), a further 300m who are on the edge of coverage, and 2-3 billion IoT devices.
Telcos in China (and Asia more broadly) are no different, with the region home to the largest number of satellite partnerships with operators at over 40 as of December 2024. China’s satellite scale is immense: the country has at least three constellation projects, which together amount to a planned 38,000 satellites in orbit. The connectivity extension targets new subscribers, better coverage for existing ones, seamless roaming, and service availability for businesses in hard-to-reach areas or those that carry transient assets like logistics and precision agriculture using drones.
Join us in this summit as we explore:
- The top strategic priorities and emerging potential of satellite networks to revolutionize global connectivity via integration with mobile networks (4G and 5G)
- Revenue strategies across consumer and B2B/IoT segments
- The impact of using satellite for emergency and disaster response situations
- Changing competitive dynamics among satellite and HAPS groups, and long-term carrying capacity of satellite constellations
- Technological advances at the satellite, chipset and device level, and the impact of 3GPP release 18
- Trade-offs between different spectrum and regulatory approaches
