Hybrid networks and Direct-to-Device: How satellite and mobile are converging

Описание: At Mobile World Congress 2026, Saf Malik, deputy editor at Capacity, speaks with Jaymy Teh, VP of Go-To-Market Strategy & Telco Solutions at Proximus Global, about the rapid evolution of satellite connectivity and its growing integration with terrestrial networks.

As LEO constellations and Direct-to-Device (D2D) services gain traction, Teh explains how the industry is moving from experimentation to real commercial deployment. The discussion explores the emergence of hybrid satellite–terrestrial networks, the role of standards such as 3rd Generation Partnership Project in enabling seamless connectivity, and why satellite is becoming a natural extension of the mobile network rather than a competitor.

Teh also highlights the key challenges facing the sector, including technical integration, regulatory coordination, and sustainable business models. Teh outlines how Proximus Global is helping bridge the gap between mobile operators and satellite providers through secure IPX interconnection and roaming-grade infrastructure.

The interview also looks ahead to the use cases expected to drive growth, from IoT and mobility to resilience and direct-to-cell connectivity, as the telecom industry moves toward a single, seamless global network spanning space and ground.
