SUMMARY:Celebrating World Wi-Fi Day 2026 | 18 June 2026
DESCRIPTION:Program Speaker Details Event Highlights Session Presentations \n\n       \n\n        About The Conference\n    \n\n        Broadband India Forum is organizing World Wi-Fi Day 2026 to celebrate the transformative role of Wi-Fi in advancing India’s digital inclusion\, innovation\, and economic growth agenda. The conference will deliberate on the growing importance of Public Wi-Fi\, PM-WANI\, Open Roaming\, and the urgent need for exploiting the recently delicensed 6 GHz band to strengthen India’s digital connectivity ecosystem. The theme of the conference is\n     \n\n         “Unlocking 6 GHz: Powering India’s Next Wireless Leap.”\n     \n\n        The primary objective of the conference is to bring together key policymakers\, regulators\, industry leaders\, technology innovators\, and ecosystem stakeholders to examine how next-generation Wi-Fi\, public broadband access\, and unlicensed 6 Ghz spectrum can accelerate India’s transition toward a digitally empowered and connected economy.\n     \n\n        As India moves rapidly toward a digitally connected future\, Public Wi-Fi under the PM-WANI framework has emerged as a powerful enabler of affordable broadband access\, especially for underserved communities\, small businesses\, students\, and rural users. At the same time\, delicensing the 6 GHz band represents a critical step in enabling faster speeds\, lower latency\, and next-generation Wi-Fi capabilities essential for AI-driven applications\, immersive technologies\, Industry 4.0\, smart enterprises\, and high-capacity broadband networks.\n     \n\n        By fostering this important discussion\, the conference seeks to contribute to India’s vision of digital empowerment and support policy–industry dialogue on expanding public Wi-Fi ecosystems\, enabling open and ubiquitous connectivity\, and unlocking the 6 GHz spectrum for unlicensed use. The conference will be graced by national and international speakers\, policymakers\, industry experts\, innovators\, and investors who will share their insights on India’s next phase of wireless connectivity and digital growth.\n     \n     \n\n        Key Themes and Discussion Areas\n    \n\n        The event will feature discussions on several key and emerging themes shaping India’s next phase of wireless connectivity and digital inclusion\, including:\n     \n \n\n        1.

SUMMARY:India Satcom 2026 - August 18th 2026
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \n\n \n\nAbout The Conference\nBroadband India Forum is organizing India Satcom 2026\, the 10th edition of its Flagship Summit\, on Tuesday\, 18th August 2026 at Hotel Shangri-La Eros\, New Delhi. The summit assumes particular significance as India’s satellite communications ecosystem enters a decisive phase of policy\, regulatory\, technological\, and commercial evolution. \nIndia’s digital transformation has accelerated rapidly over the last decade through expanding broadband networks\, rising smartphone penetration\, digital public infrastructure\, and increasing adoption of online services across governance\, education\, healthcare\, and commerce. However\, despite major progress in terrestrial telecom infrastructure\, significant connectivity gaps continue across rural and remote India. Many regions—including the Himalayas\, the North-East\, deserts\, islands\, forests\, border areas\, and coastal regions—pose serious economic and operational challenges for traditional terrestrial technologies such as fibre and tower-based connectivity. \n\n \n\nRole of Satellite Communications\nSatellite communications is not a substitute for terrestrial networks\, but a strategic supplement capable of extending broadband and resilient connectivity to locations where terrestrial deployment is difficult\, disrupted\, or commercially unviable. Satcom can play a major role in advancing the objectives of Digital India\, universal connectivity\, inclusive growth\, disaster resilience\, and national security. \nGlobally\, satellite communication is undergoing rapid transformation with the emergence of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) constellations\, high-throughput satellites\, and converged satellite-terrestrial architectures. These developments are enabling new possibilities across broadband access\, enterprise connectivity\, aviation\, maritime communications\, IoT applications\, disaster management\, telemedicine\, remote education\, emergency communications\, and mobility services. \n\n \n\nEvolving Policy & Regulatory Landscape\nIndia’s satcom sector is witnessing an important policy and regulatory transition. The Telecommunications Act\, 2023 has created the statutory basis for administrative assignment of satellite spectrum\, while ongoing consultations and recommendations are shaping the future framework for satcom authorisation\, spectrum pricing\, gateway requirements\, security obligations\, regulatory parity\, and coordination with telecom and space-sector approvals. \nEmerging developments such as Direct-to-Device (D2D) communications\, satellite-terrestrial convergence\, cybersecurity in satellite networks\, and coexistence between GSO and NGSO systems are becoming increasingly important for India’s future connectivity ecosystem. \n\n \n\nObjective of the Conference\nIndia Satcom 2026 aims to bring together policymakers\, regulators\, government officials\, telecom operators\, satellite companies\, technology providers\, start-ups\, equipment manufacturers\, international experts\, and ecosystem stakeholders to deliberate on the future roadmap for India’s satellite communications sector. \nThe conference will examine how satellite communications can accelerate digital inclusion\, strengthen national resilience\, improve customer choice\,\nsupport mobility and enterprise connectivity\, and position India as an important participant in emerging global satcom discussions. \n\n \n\nRelease of White Papers\nAs part of India Satcom 2026\, two important white papers are proposed to be released: \n\nCyber Security in Satellite Communications – Examining evolving cyber risks\, resilience frameworks\, and trusted satellite communication infrastructure.\nDirect-to-Device Communications – Analysing global developments\, spectrum and coexistence challenges\, regulatory frameworks\, and India’s strategic approach toward satellite-enabled direct connectivity to mobile devices.\n\n\n \n\nWho Should Join the Conference?\nSenior government officials\, regulators\, policymakers\, telecom operators\, satellite companies\, internet service providers\, technology providers\,start-ups\, equipment manufacturers\, cybersecurity experts\, cloud and network infrastructure companies\, mobility service providers\, enterprise users\,digital inclusion advocates\, academic institutions\, standards bodies\, international organisations\, investors\, venture funds\, think tanks\, and domain experts interested in the future of India’s satellite communications ecosystem. \n\n \n\nRegister Here \nFOR PARTNERSHIPS / REGISTRATION\, PLEASE CONTACT: \nMr. Swapnil Shukla\nT: +91 98398 04042\nE: swapnil@broadbandindiaforum.in\n \nNote: Participation is Free\, as always.
