Course Overview

Satellite communications, High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS), and hybrid Terrestrial–Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) are emerging as critical components of modern connectivity ecosystems. They play a vital role in rural and remote coverage, disaster recovery, public safety, border connectivity, maritime and aviation services, and future 5G/6G integrated networks. This course provides a holistic understanding of satellite, HAPS, and NTN technologies, their architectures, use cases, and integration with terrestrial telecom networks. It also addresses spectrum policy, regulatory frameworks, security, and national strategy considerations, enabling participants to make informed planning and policy decisions for nationwide connectivity and resilience.
