One Network, Extended: Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Connectivity in Practice

At MWC Barcelona 2026, the GSMA Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) Community will host an invite-only executive roundtable bringing together decision-makers from mobile network operators, satellite network operators, vendors, and enterprise leaders.

Non-Terrestrial Networks are increasingly being considered alongside terrestrial infrastructure as part of broader connectivity strategies. This roundtable will examine how 3GPP standard-based NTN can integrate with terrestrial networks, focusing on practical considerations, commercial approaches, and deployment realities.

The session will be a discussion across three key topic areas reflecting current industry priorities and worldwide perspectives.

Drawing on insights from the global GSMA NTN Community, including contributions from ecosystem partners, participants will explore the opportunities and challenges of Terrestrial–Non-Terrestrial Network integration and the role of industry collaboration in supporting progress.

The roundtable is designed to support peer-to-peer exchange, identify shared priorities, and inform the GSMA NTN Community’s future activities and resources in support of stakeholders across the ecosystem.
