Keysight and ESA

Overview

Join us for an exclusive full-day summit on the future of 6G non-terrestrial networks (NTN), hosted in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA).

This event brings together leading researchers, space and telecom experts, and industry stakeholders to explore how satellite and aerial platforms will integrate with terrestrial systems to shape next-generation 6G connectivity.

Gain insights into global 6G and NTN visions, key technology enablers such as AI-native networks, sustainability, and integrated space–air–ground architectures, as well as the evolving 6G ecosystem. Engage with peers, hear expert perspectives from ESA and partners, and experience live demonstrations showcasing breakthrough technologies for resilient, ubiquitous connectivity beyond terrestrial limits.

Innovate. Collaborate. Connect beyond Earth. The future of 6G starts here.
