Industry Convergence: Wholesale Carriers and the Integration of Space Connectivity
Satellite connectivity, particularly Low Earth Orbit (LEO), is becoming an increasingly important part of the wider connectivity ecosystem.
This GLF paper explores how satellite can complement existing fibre and subsea infrastructure, becoming another layer within an end-to-end connectivity offering rather than operating as a standalone solution.
It looks at where satellite can add value, address gaps in existing infrastructure and give international carriers new options when building and delivering connectivity services.
Who should read it?This paper is designed for organisations and professionals across the connectivity and digital infrastructure ecosystem.
Whether you are already exploring satellite or simply want to understand its potential, the paper provides practical information to help you consider where satellite could fit within your connectivity strategy and service portfolio.
Why read the paper?Developed through the GLF Infrastructure Convergence Taskforce, with input from industry experts and senior leaders, the paper brings together evidence, data and industry insight on the role satellite could play in the evolving connectivity landscape.
It explores:
- How satellite can complement fibre and subsea networks
- Where satellite can help address connectivity and infrastructure gaps
- The opportunities for carriers to incorporate satellite into end-to-end connectivity offerings
- How satellite could become part of a more integrated and flexible connectivity stack
