Automated vehicles: a technological solution to which problems
Automated vehicles have been promised to revolutionise transport: bringing about significant improvements to road safety, improving access to and the accessibility of transport, addressing the growing issue of congestion within cities and the list goes on. But are the solutions being built today truly laying the groundwork for that future? The technology may be advancing rapidly but whose needs is it actually designed around?

Bridging Space and Earth: Governance, Spectrum, and Validation Challenges in NTN and Satcom on the Move
The convergence of Non- Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and Satcom on the Move (SOTM) is reshaping global connectivity, enabling resilient communication across terrestrial and satellite domains. As integration with 5G and future 6G accelerates, challenges around spectrum coordination, regulation and cross border operation intensify. SOTM use across land, air and sea adds further complexity, compounded by limited standardised testing and validation. This panel examines regulatory, technical and validation needs, highlighting the importance of harmonised standards to support interoperable, scalable NTN and SOTM deployment.
