The much-talked-about convergence of terrestrial telecom and low-earth orbit satellite (LEOS) communications coincides with a transformation of the customer expectation from connectivity to lifestyle provider. LEOS service providers — whether in partnership with mobile network operators (MNOs) or in direct competition either today or over time — may similarly want to consider the diverse communications and mobility demands from consumers for supporting a “new-normal” lifestyle grounded in safety and security.

The potential impact and solutions for LEOS communication providers
Regulatory requirements and the potential partner and consumer expectations
Emergency communications solutions facilitating 911, 112, 999, etc., represent not only a source of differentiation for LEOS service providers but mitigate some of the regulatory uncertainties to come as these offers push directly to the handset and the market-savvy consumer. Fortunately, much of the 911 solution architecture for LEOS has already been built, tested, and deployed in landline, wireless and VoIP environments. Frontloading a 911 solution today can not only mitigate against regulatory surprises but can future-proof mobile satellite service offerings sitting in beam deployment R&D today or pinned on terminal handset innovation roadmaps.
