Please join us for a compelling panel discussion at 4:15 p.m. - 5:15 p.m. followed by a networking happy hour. Open to all pass types.

Panel topic: Satellite-direct-to-phone (Sat2Phone) technology is one of the most talk-about innovations in the communications industry, as the ability for low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite to act as a “cell towers in space” has significant implications for users and network operators. For critical-communications users, the promise that a smart device—without a special satellite receiver—can still be used outdoors anywhere on the globe is incredibly attractive, dramatically altering long-held perceptions about LTE reliability. For carriers and other network operators, the ability to keep users connected certainly is positive, and effective Sat2Phone could even impact future roaming and tower-building strategies in remote areas. Learn how this technology is progressing, when it could be commercially available to you, what deployment challenges remain, and how the business model differs from legacy satellite offerings.
