Conference: The Integration of Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks

The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals (ITP) is delighted to announce their forthcoming conference on “The Integration of terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks”. Organised in partnership with the Federation of Telecommunications Engineers of the European Union (FITCE), it recognises the growing interest in space-based communications and the role it can play in delivering an optimised heterogeneous network with wide coverage and high availability.

For example, whether it is in addressing not-spots where terrestrial networks are less commercially viable or in providing much-needed network resilience, the last five years has seen a huge growth in Low Earth Orbit satellite constellations and the potential they offer. Hence, this two-day conference will feature presentations from industry and academic speakers from across Europe discussing the service opportunities, commercial realities, technical challenges, and market potential of integrating space-based communications with the planet’s fixed and mobile network infrastructure.
