Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN): Direct-to-X in 6G Era and Beyond

Join us for an insightful keynote by Professor Halim Yanikomeroglu, where he will explore how future wireless systems will extend far beyond traditional terrestrial infrastructure by tightly integrating satellites, HAPS, and aerial platforms to enable direct connectivity to devices, vehicles, sensors, and users anywhere on Earth. The talk will highlight emerging Direct-to-X (D2X) capabilities, multi-layer NTN architectures, and key 6G use cases. Prof. Yanikomeroglu will also discuss the major technical, regulatory, and commercial challenges, and outline how NTNs will become a defining pillar of the 6G vision through the 2030s.
