A Global Gathering to Shape the Future of NTN and Connectivity

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Nov. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The second Connecting the World from the Skies Global Forum concluded successfully on November 26, 2024, bringing together a global community of 82 speakers and attendees, including 16 CEOs and 9 regulators.

 

The Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST) of Saudi Arabia, in partnership with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), hosted the second edition of the forum in Riyadh, themed “Shaping the Future of Converged Connectivity”, and delved into the next frontier of connectivity and explored the full potential of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN).

Saudi Arabia is committed to uniting global efforts to connect the unconnected and bridge the digital divide, all in the service of humanity,” said H.E. Dr. Mohammed Altamimi, Governor of CST. “By fostering collaboration between industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators, we are accelerating the development and deployment of NTN technologies to benefit societies worldwide.”

The main panel discussion, titled “A Global Vision for the Future of NTN Connectivity,” delved into the pivotal role of NTN in establishing seamless global connectivity. Eminent leaders and experts shared visionary insights on shaping integrated communication networks that transcend geographical boundaries.

Carlos Baigorri, President of Anatel, emphasized the importance of global collaboration in ensuring equitable regulation and inclusive participation in discussions regarding space as a shared global asset. Aarti Holla-Maini, Director at the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, highlighted three key factors to consider when evaluating NTN technologies: bandwidth, cost, and quality of service. She emphasized that higher bandwidth is crucial for applications demanding stable and reliable service, which is particularly critical for mission-critical use cases.

The forum witnessed the first-of-its-kind Direct-to-Device (D2D) trial in the Middle East and North Africa region, which involves connecting smart devices compatible with 3GPP Release 17 standards to a satellite, enabling data transmission and reception in unconnected areas. This experiment aimed to connect non-connected areas, develop NTN technologies, attract global investments, and stimulate local investments in the field.

The forum also hosted the second edition of the International Research Competition (Competition on Non-Terrestrial Networks for 6G) and awarded the three winners. The competition, organized in collaboration with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), attracted over 170 researchers and academics from 30 countries. The competition aims to promote innovative solutions and support scientific research in the field of Non-Terrestrial Networks. The top three submissions were recognized at the forum to honor their contributions to the advancement of 6G technology.

Key themes discussed at the forum included Seamless Direct-to-Device Connectivity; Aligning Global NTN Visions for WRC-27 & Beyond; Unlocking the Potential of D2D Connectivity; Global Connectivity Through LEO Networks; Delivering Sustainability in and from Space; Unveiling the Future of Space Economy.

DP World Expands Port Saint John Capacity with Arrival of Largest Cranes to Date

Published

The two additional cranes will boost capacity, fuel economic growth, and strengthen Port Saint John as a key Atlantic gateway for global trade.

SAINT JOHN, NB, Nov. 29, 2024 /CNW/ – DP World, a global leader in logistics and supply chain solutions, and Port Saint John have welcomed two of the largest cranes ever deployed at the port. The cranes will enhance the port’s container handling capacity and increase operational efficiency, strengthening the region’s role in global trade and positioning Saint John as a key Atlantic gateway.

The new additions, each with an impressive outreach of 65 meters, can span up to 24 containers wide, enabling them to service vessels with capacities exceeding 10,000 TEUs. With these arrivals, the port now hosts six quay cranes—its highest capacity yet.

DP World brought its first two cranes to Port Saint John in 2017, followed by two additional post-Panamax cranes in 2023. The company announced the arrival of the newest cranes earlier this year. 

The cranes arrived in Port Saint John on November 29, 2024. They set sail from the Port of Virginia in Norfolk, Virginia, on November 25, and traveled 720 nautical miles up the Eastern seaboard to reach their new home in Saint John. The cranes are expected to be operational in early 2025.

Doug Smith, CEO of DP World in Canada, said: “We are proud to enhance Port Saint John’s capabilities with these advanced cranes. Their extended reach and capacity will enable DP World to handle larger vessels, bolstering the port’s container throughput and efficiency. With its ambitious modernization projects, global connections to over 500 ports, and seamless intermodal transport links, Port Saint John is primed for significant growth. With our ongoing investments and commitment to the community, we’re confident the port will continue to evolve into a vital, competitive gateway on Canada’s East Coast, driving economic impact for the region.”

The cranes’ arrival aligns with completion of the port’s $250 million modernization project, highlighting Port Saint John’s growing role as a premier Atlantic gateway.

Craig Bell Estabrooks, President and CEO of Port Saint John said: “The arrival of two additional cranes marks yet another transformational milestone for our port. Expanding capacity and improving efficiency will be key to delivering further jobs and prosperity for our region.”

Jack Keir, Chair, Port Saint John Board of Directors, said: “Having a world-class partner like DP World continuing to invest in our port is great news. The momentum sparked by our modernized infrastructure continues to pay off for our community.”
