- The integration of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites with 5G networks will be one of the central themes of the meeting, addressing how this technological convergence makes it possible to overcome traditional limitations of coverage, latency and accessibility, especially in remote, maritime or land-based environments with limited infrastructure.
- Pablo Álvarez, CEO of Netmetrix, will analyse the current state of integration between LEO satellites and 5G networks, an evolution that is already having a real impact on the telecommunications ecosystem.
The second edition of New Space & Solutions will focus on one of the major pillars of future connectivity: hybrid satellite-ground architecture and non-terrestrial communications (NTN), a technology set to redefine global access to telecommunications.
New Space and Solutions: “Where we tell you what New Space does for us” will hold its second edition in Seville from 14 to 17 April and will once again place the Andalusian capital at the centre of the debate on emerging space technologies. The Cartuja Auditorium, managed by Yventu and located in Seville TechPark, will host the two in-person days on Tuesday 14 and Wednesday 15 April, while the two virtual days will be held on Thursday 16 and Friday 17, bringing together international experts to analyse the solutions that are defining the future of the New Space ecosystem.
The integration of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites with 5G networks will be one of the central themes of the event, addressing how this technological convergence makes it possible to overcome traditional limitations of coverage, latency and accessibility, especially in remote, maritime or land-based environments with limited infrastructure. , the end-to-end signal quality to the end user and the main technical challenges of NTN networks as the basis for truly global connectivity will also be analysed.
One of the featured speakers will be Pablo Álvarez, CEO of Netmetrix, who will delve into the current state of integration between LEO satellites and 5G networks, an evolution that is already having a real impact on the telecommunications ecosystem. During his presentation, Pablo Álvarez will address key issues such as the maturity level of these solutions, the challenges of interoperability between terrestrial and space infrastructures, and the technical aspects that must be taken into account to ensure the efficient, stable and scalable operation of these hybrid networks.
Pablo Álvarez, CEO of Netmetrix, during his participation in the eighth edition of the 5G Forum, organised by Medina Media Events, held in 2025.
In addition, the standardisation of NTN networks will be analysed and the role of 3GPP, which officially includes non-terrestrial communications within the 5G standard, will be addressed, as well as improvements aimed at expanding capabilities and facilitating their commercial adoption.
The New Space & Solutions 2026 agenda will delve into hybrid satellite-ground architecture, understood as a complement to, rather than a substitute for, terrestrial networks. Similarly, integration models with 5G Stand Alone (SA) will be analysed, both in satellite backhaul and direct device access scenarios, highlighting the technical requirements necessary for efficient coexistence between space and terrestrial infrastructures.
The presence of experts in the field reinforces the role of New Space & Solutions as a key meeting point for professionals in the space sector, telecommunications operators, manufacturers and technology developers interested in understanding and leading the transition towards a hybrid, resilient and global communications infrastructure.
All New Space and Solutions conferences will be available for viewing on demand through The Observatory, Medina Media Events’ digital platform, where each conference will be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, free of charge.
The second edition of New Space & Solutions is organised by Medina Media Events and supported by Seville City Council; the Regional Ministry of Universities, Research and Innovation of the Regional Government of Andalusia, the Regional Ministry of Sustainability and Environment, Canary Islands Aerospace Strategy (Government of the Canary Islands), Netmetrix, Sceye, Rohde & Schwarz, Azo Space, PCB Piezotronics, Pablo de Olavide University, CATEC, Kistler, DEKRA, Open Cosmos, Solars MEMS, Quside, Systratec, Keplerkoord, Augusta Abogados, Bufete Mas y Calvet, LORTEK, Flux, Metadev, FIDAMC, NDK, Alfalite, the University of Malaga and the Polytechnic University of Valencia, among others.
