Bridging the Digital Divide: Highlights from the MCMC-APT LEO Satellite Training

From 5G to Satellites: MCMC Academy Expands Regional Leadership
 

MCMC, through MCMC Academy, has successfully conducted the inaugural MCMC–APT LEO Satellite Programme 2025, officiated by Dr. Murugappan, CHRO, MCMC, with the presence of Dr. Jong Bong Park, Director of Project Development, Asia-Pacific Telecommunity, from 23-26 Sept 2026. 

This marks our first training on satellite technology and our third collaboration with APT, following two successful 5G Masterclasses.

The programme brought together over 50 delegates from 12 countries — ASEAN Member States (Malaysia, Myanmar, Lao, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Cambodia), Hong Kong, Nepal, and Sri Lanka — for four impactful days of knowledge-sharing, industry visits, a networking dinner, and an ASEAN Workshop on Satellite under the ASEAN–APT Project.

The workshop served as a platform for ASEAN Member States to discuss key findings, issues, challenges, and recommendations, paving the way for stronger regional strategies in satellite connectivity.

A milestone that reinforces MCMC Academy’s role in advancing regional connectivity, inclusion, and talent development.
