Sovereign connectivity is increasingly sought after by nation states for integration into their communication systems, and the programme — which is being shaped in part by SES — provides an opportunity to further develop and expand these offerings on a pan-European scale.

5G NTN and AI Overlays on Cloud-Based Satellite

Speaker: Alan Campbell, AWS
Time: 14:30 - 14:50

Cloud-based teleport architectures are enabling new agility with 5G NTN overlays and new AI use-cases. AWS’s Principal Space Specialist Solutions Architect, Alan Campbell, will delve into the scalable compute and analytics building blocks driving new efficiencies in capacity forecasting and anomaly detection as a result.

Examining the Convergence of Satellite Services with Private 5G

Speaker: Didier Flaender, Numerisat
Time: 15:30 - 15:50

Satellite services are an excellent resilient and scalable choice as the backhaul for Private 5G (P5G) deployments. This presentation will show how satellite integration with P5G enables seamless connectivity in hard-to-reach locations, accelerates deployments, and is a powerful IoT enabler. It will also examine Numerisat and SES’s collaboration on deploying P5G networks in mountainous regions as part of the Mountain Planet 5G project, supporting smart tourism, safety, and sustainability.

Media Content via Satellite: The Power of Entertainment

Speaker: Yvonne Bertalot, SES
Time: 16:30 - 16:50

This presentation will look in detail at how SES enables the delivery of content and brands to massive audiences worldwide and the opportunities that presents broadcasters, telcos, and media organisations. SES satellites reach an audience of over 1 billion people, and Bertalot will highlight the constantly evolving technologies and new business models that provide ripe opportunities for monetisation across multiple screens at consumers’ convenience.

Network in the Sky: Corporate Services & Digital Transformation

Speaker: Oscar Garcia, NTT
Time: 10:30 - 10:50

A close look at how SES’s satellite connectivity, “fibers in the sky”, helps NTT to achieve a range of critical business goals. These include ensuring business continuity no matter what, extending the corporate network and cloud access everywhere regardless of geography, and making digital transformation happen anywhere as a consequence. It will detail how the unique features of SES’ space infrastructure enables it to deliver the professional IT connectivity service required and expected by NTT customers worldwide.

Bridging the Digital Divide with Multi-Orbit Solutions

Speaker: Olivier Gommes, Marlink
Time: 11:30 - 11:50
