10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. ET | REDUCING DIVIDES: HOW TELCOS CAN BENEFIT FROM NEXT-GEN SATELLITE TECHNOLOGIES
Connecting rural and remote communities is not an inexpensive exercise. While it is needed and wanted, telcos are faced with numerous challenges when investing in their overall network infrastructure. Here, a panel of satellite industry experts talks about how satellite offers a cost-effective solution to telcos when reducing divides. For telcos, it is a chance to understand how satellite technology can make your business plans even better.

10:00 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. ET | THE LOW-LATENCY CONSTELLATION BATTLE TO CONNECT RURAL NORTH AMERICA
In North America, telcos such as Sprint/T-Mobile are also starting to see the benefits of satellite technology as they connect away from dense urban areas. While you wouldn’t think the US telcos and satellite players would be natural partners, that could be changing. Here we look at this market and see where the opportunities for satellite lie.
11:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. ET | CLOSING KEYNOTE – HOW SATELLITES’ ROLE IN 5G IS ABOUT MORE THAN TECHNOLOGY
Although the technological advances within the satellite industry have been significant over the past five to ten years our future in the deployment of 5G is dependent on so much more. Given the huge amounts of investment and the high levels of interest that have returned to the space and satellite industry, along with all the talk of LEO, MEO, GEO HTS, VHTS etc. as collective, our ability to not only take part in the 5G deployment but be at the centre of it comes from our combined strength and understanding.
