Saudi Arabia's Groundbreaking Forum on Converged Connectivity

On November 25-26, 2024, Riyadh will play host to the second installment of the "Connecting the World from the Skies Global Forum". Organized by the Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST) in collaboration with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), this event is poised to tackle some of the most pressing issues in the field of connectivity. The primary focus will be on non-terrestrial networks (NTN) and the expansive realms they unlock in connectivity.

A Platform for Experts and Innovators

The forum aims to gather a diverse assembly of experts, policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers from across the globe. The discussions will center around the transformative potential of NTN and how these innovations can address universal connectivity challenges. Through collaborative efforts and knowledge-sharing, the event aspires to catalyze the development of groundbreaking solutions that enhance connectivity on a global scale.

Key topics to be covered include seamless connectivity for all, hybrid connectivity, the convergence of 5G and 6G, the burgeoning space economy, and sustainable practices within NTN networks. The forum will also explore the implications of satellite technology in the ever-evolving landscape of telecommunications.

A Vision for the Future

According to Mohammed AlJanoobi, Deputy Governor of Spectrum at CST, “This second edition is a pivotal milestone in our journey towards a reality where seamless connectivity is achievable for everyone. By assembling leading companies and innovators worldwide, we aim to accelerate the development and deployment of NTN.”

The initial forum, held in 2022, set the stage for ongoing discussions surrounding the technological and policy advancements in NTN. With rapid developments in the satellite and aerospace sectors, this year's gathering will provide a unique opportunity to assess the progress made since the last event and chart the future course for NTN connectivity.

A Call to Action

The "Connecting the World from the Skies Global Forum 2024" presents a chance for stakeholders to explore the expansive possibilities that NTN offers. It is also an invitation to contribute to a connected and sustainable future. Participants are encouraged to be part of this groundbreaking event in Riyadh, where innovative ideas and strategies will be exchanged.
