- How will ground-based wireless infrastructure networks incorporate low-earth orbit satellite connectivity and bandwidth? What should be the role of independent towercos?
- Where can LEO satellite connectivity outperform ground-based towers, and how can towercos, carriers and regulators cooperate to make best use of this new connectivity?
- What new services—beyond internet access—can the satellite-tower partnership unlock for sectors like agriculture, energy, and logistics in LATAM?
- Data in Orbit: How do data flows, latency, and security shift when satellites enter the equation alongside terrestrial towers?
- Is there a future for independently managed satellite ground base stations? Could towercos manage more of the world’s ground-based space infrastructure?
