Direct-to-device (D2D) communication represents a significant opportunity for telecoms and space players worldwide, as universal mobile coverage is now within reach via a combination of terrestrial and space connectivity. While most telecoms operators and mobile network operators (MNOs) acknowledge the potential for this emerging application, the path to a successful D2D strategy hinges on navigating several critical elements such as spectrum availability, a viable business case and meeting consumer expectations.
This webinar will examine:
- what spectrum choices are available for D2D communication, and how spectrum selection influences D2D services and capacity
- how D2D could affect MNOs’ and towercos’ business models
- how the D2D ecosystem could develop over time
- consumers’ interest and willingness to pay for satellite D2D services
- the current status of D2D technologies and how the evolution of its capabilities will shape its revenue potential.
Our webinar will provide both telecoms and space companies with insights into building an effective D2D strategy and will explore considerations for ensuring business success.
