GSMA at World Space Business Week 2026

The GSMA NTN Community returned to World Space Business Week (WSBW) 2026, bringing together leaders from across the mobile and satellite ecosystems to explore the next phase of Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) development, commercialisation and terrestrial-satellite integration.

As NTN moves from early deployments towards wider commercial adoption, collaboration across mobile operators, satellite providers, policymakers, regulators and technology partners will be essential to enabling scalable, interoperable and sustainable connectivity solutions. Discussions at WSBW 2026 explored the role of NTN in expanding coverage, supporting network resilience and unlocking new opportunities across consumer, enterprise and IoT markets.

At the heart of these conversations was the importance of collaboration and interoperability as the satellite and mobile industries work towards more integrated connectivity. From 3GPP standards and roaming to device and network interoperability, the discussions highlighted the frameworks and partnerships needed to move NTN towards scale.

GSMA X MSSA

Hear from Barbara Pareglio, Senior Director at GSMA, and Yasrine Ibnyahya, Vice President, Technology Investments & Partnerships at Viasat, sharing their perspectives on collaboration between satellite operators and mobile network operators, leveraging 3GPP standards to enable interoperability from device to network. They also discuss GSMA and MSSA collaboration, challenges around roaming and interoperability, key use cases, and the importance of bringing the industry community together to accelerate NTN adoption and extend connectivity to more users.
