This event will bring together leading voices from industry, government agency, and research organisation to explore the future of Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) from and in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Dynamic panels will provide the updates on the international landscape, engage potential anchor customers, explore enabling technologies for LEO PNT, discuss the role of 5G/6G NTN and mega-constellations, and address the challenge of space debris.

We’ll discuss the business case and model spectrum with regulation and standardisations, system concepts with technical challenges, and development plan & roadmap, highlight the market opportunities driving public and private investment, with International and UK's perspective.

We want to ask the tough questions for LEO PNT developments — is it commercially viable? What are the cost-benefits? Where does responsibility lie? And how to operate compatibly and safely?
