Satellite Communications and Non-Terrestrial Networks: Policy, Regulation and Future Connectivity

About the Programme
This five-day training programme strengthens regulatory, policy, and strategic understanding of satellite communications and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) among stakeholders from Asia-Pacific economies. Participants will explore multi-orbit satellite systems, network integration, spectrum management, emerging applications, and governance frameworks that support future connectivity and network resilience. Through expert-led sessions, panel discussions, and learning visits, the programme provides practical insights to support informed policy, regulatory, and implementation decisions.

Programme Objectives

• Strengthen strategic understanding of satellite communications and non-terrestrial networks (NTN) as key enablers of inclusive, resilient and future-ready connectivity.
