The mission to bridge the gap between terrestrial and satellite networks is powered by the visionary leadership of our Members. Our MSSA Committee Chairs and Vice Chairs – representing a powerhouse of satellite operators, mobile network operators (MNOs), and chipset vendors – serve as the architects of this new frontier. These leaders anchor the Association’s core pillars: the Technical, Regulatory, Strategy, and Marketing Committees.
By steering specialized workstreams like the MSS Reference Architecture Work Group, they don’t just manage meetings; they facilitate the vital technical specifications and best practices that ensure the industry remains aligned on 3GPP standards and the strategic use of L- and S-band spectrum. This collective expertise creates a unified voice to facilitate innovation, choice, and competition.
This collaborative leadership is the primary catalyst for accelerating the development and global integration of open, interoperable Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) solutions. Through these strategic initiatives, MSSA is actively dismantling the barriers to seamless global roaming and sparking a viable marketplace for high-performance cellular-like services anywhere on Earth. Our Committee work does more than enhance regulatory frameworks: it ensures that advanced NTN services are scalable, sustainable, and ready for mass-market adoption – delivering the highest possible value to consumer, business, civilian, government, and defense end users.
