WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.876
I think what has to change is,

00:00:01.876 --> 00:00:04.963
how do we have really clear
strategic partnerships

00:00:04.963 --> 00:00:08.883
where we can move faster than
we have ever moved before?

00:00:08.883 --> 00:00:10.427
Tami, Bora, welcome.

00:00:10.427 --> 00:00:11.636
Tami, to you first.

00:00:11.636 --> 00:00:15.265
Customer connectivity
expectations we know are rising,

00:00:15.265 --> 00:00:17.559
so what will the future
of connectivity look like?

00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.395
What will have to change to
meet those expectations almost?

00:00:20.395 --> 00:00:22.272
Yeah, it's super exciting to be here

00:00:22.272 --> 00:00:23.982
and to see the kind of changes

00:00:23.982 --> 00:00:25.734
that are happening around connectivity.

00:00:25.734 --> 00:00:28.778
We used to be really willing
to accept dropped calls

00:00:28.778 --> 00:00:31.239
or gaps in coverage,
and what's changing is,

00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:33.867
we want coverage anywhere, anytime,

00:00:33.867 --> 00:00:37.037
because we want and live
in a very connected world,

00:00:37.037 --> 00:00:40.707
and so what has to be
true is interoperability.

00:00:40.707 --> 00:00:43.168
It has to be seamless for the customer.

00:00:43.168 --> 00:00:47.214
I think about when we started
to go from cellular to wifi,

00:00:47.214 --> 00:00:50.842
and now it's one more
connection point with satellite,

00:00:50.842 --> 00:00:52.511
and I think that's the
expectation we have,

00:00:52.511 --> 00:00:56.014
is be connected anytime,
anywhere in the world

00:00:56.014 --> 00:00:58.642
- Bora, you speak to leaders
in this space all the time.

00:00:58.642 --> 00:00:59.893
Does that resonate with you?

00:00:59.893 --> 00:01:02.229
- Absolutely, and, you
know, echo your words,

00:01:02.229 --> 00:01:03.730
it's great to be here at MWC,

00:01:03.730 --> 00:01:05.857
and it's certainly nice
to see the new emphasis,

00:01:05.857 --> 00:01:10.028
what I would say, around the
extraterrestrial network layers

00:01:10.028 --> 00:01:11.238
that have really come into focus,

00:01:11.238 --> 00:01:13.824
and so I think it's
important to acknowledge

00:01:13.824 --> 00:01:16.785
there's different types of
consumers and customers at large.

00:01:16.785 --> 00:01:18.537
On the consumer side, fully agree,

00:01:18.537 --> 00:01:20.455
their expectations are increasing.

00:01:20.455 --> 00:01:21.957
Interoperability is core to that,

00:01:21.957 --> 00:01:23.041
they expect to be connected,

00:01:23.041 --> 00:01:25.252
and there's also new use
cases that are being supported

00:01:25.252 --> 00:01:26.879
and part of their daily life,

00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.340
and so in emergency services, rural areas,

00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:31.174
we're really seeing

00:01:31.174 --> 00:01:35.012
the outer earth's network layers serving

00:01:35.012 --> 00:01:36.805
those use cases quite well,

00:01:36.805 --> 00:01:39.349
much better than other
wireless technologies.

00:01:39.349 --> 00:01:40.726
On the enterprise side,

00:01:40.726 --> 00:01:43.061
there's all kinds of
linear use cases, you know,

00:01:43.061 --> 00:01:44.897
especially in logistics and travel,

00:01:44.897 --> 00:01:48.150
that really depend on these
remote use cases to be served,

00:01:48.150 --> 00:01:51.570
and satellite is also an
excellent network layer

00:01:51.570 --> 00:01:53.822
for that use case to proliferate.

00:01:53.822 --> 00:01:54.782
- Finally, to you both,

00:01:54.782 --> 00:01:58.327
if companies want to move
quickly and at scale,

00:01:58.327 --> 00:02:00.537
what do you think needs to change first?

00:02:00.537 --> 00:02:01.372
Tami?

00:02:01.372 --> 00:02:03.290
- Yeah, so can I just pick up real quickly

00:02:03.290 --> 00:02:05.250
on your comments around enterprise,

00:02:05.250 --> 00:02:07.044
because I think this is so true

00:02:07.044 --> 00:02:09.421
as we think about
connectivity for enterprises,

00:02:09.421 --> 00:02:11.215
and I'll just use one example.

00:02:11.215 --> 00:02:13.258
John Deere, who connects the farm.

00:02:13.258 --> 00:02:15.427
You have to connect the
farm wherever it is,

00:02:15.427 --> 00:02:17.972
and oftentimes it's not where
you have terrestrial coverage,

00:02:17.972 --> 00:02:19.765
and that gives you big data,

00:02:19.765 --> 00:02:24.061
with data comes quantum compute,
so it's all an ecosystem,

00:02:24.061 --> 00:02:25.938
but I think what has to change is,

00:02:25.938 --> 00:02:28.983
how do we have really clear
strategic partnerships

00:02:28.983 --> 00:02:32.820
where we can move faster than
we have ever moved before?

00:02:32.820 --> 00:02:33.654
And I think in a world

00:02:33.654 --> 00:02:37.408
where we're seeing AI
move as quickly as it is,

00:02:37.408 --> 00:02:40.661
it's about experimentation
as opposed to perfection.

00:02:40.661 --> 00:02:43.414
So I would say be clear about
what your customer wants,

00:02:43.414 --> 00:02:46.792
work with those around you,
try some experimentation,

00:02:46.792 --> 00:02:50.337
but you have to go fast if
you're gonna be a market leader.

00:02:50.337 --> 00:02:53.591
- Fully agree, and what we're
seeing at the board level

00:02:53.591 --> 00:02:55.551
and at the management team level

00:02:55.551 --> 00:02:58.554
is certainly an emphasis
for the entire ecosystem

00:02:58.554 --> 00:03:00.514
to embrace the need for interoperability.

00:03:00.514 --> 00:03:02.058
We're seeing the standards bodies as well

00:03:02.058 --> 00:03:04.060
also establish some
norms and ways of working

00:03:04.060 --> 00:03:07.104
at the 3GPP standard releases,

00:03:07.104 --> 00:03:10.524
and so I think continued focus
on the importance and need,

00:03:10.524 --> 00:03:12.109
and also really come back to the use case

00:03:12.109 --> 00:03:14.362
and the customer expectations
where we started, right?

00:03:14.362 --> 00:03:17.323
These are linear use cases,
they're remote use cases.

00:03:17.323 --> 00:03:19.617
Networks will, in most
cases over their history,

00:03:19.617 --> 00:03:21.827
they converge, they don't
necessarily replace.

00:03:21.827 --> 00:03:24.372
Interoperability is just another
form of this convergence.

00:03:24.372 --> 00:03:25.831
- Bora, Tami, thank you
so much for your time.

00:03:25.831 --> 00:03:27.208
- Thank you.
- Pleasure to be here.

00:03:27.208 --> 00:03:30.044
Thank you.
