The European Space Agency (ESA), the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the 5G-EMERGE partnership project invite stakeholders from across the satellite, telecommunications and audiovisual sectors to join the 5G-EMERGE Workshop: Satellite and 5G Integration for Media Delivery on 6 October 2026 at ESA Headquarters in Paris.

The workshop

The workshop will showcase the results achieved across the first two phases of 5G-EMERGE, including technology developments, field-testing outcomes and demonstrations illustrating how satellite, terrestrial and 5G networks can work together to support media delivery and connectivity services.

Over two project phases, 5G-EMERGE has developed and tested solutions that combine satellite, terrestrial and 5G-enabled networks into a unified system for audiovisual content distribution and connectivity services. The workshop will showcase key technical achievements, field-testing results and operational insights, while examining future opportunities for industrialisation and market adoption.

Why attend?

• Meet stakeholders from across the value chain: operators, hardware and chipset manufacturers, user terminal makers, service providers, integrators, researchers and academia, spanning Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), Terrestrial Networks (TN) and the audiovisual sector.
• See the technology and market maturity of 5G-EMERGE systems and services, based on results and field testing from Phase 1 and Phase 2.
• Learn about the practical enablers for deploying and operating 5G-EMERGE satellite services.
• Explore the opportunities to benefit from the industrialisation of 5G-EMERGE results to be addressed by the ESA activity as part of the new 5G EMERGE phase 3.
• Exchange views with peers on where the technology and the market go next.
• Experience demonstrations of 5G-EMERGE products and services prototypes in the foyer throughout the day.

Bringing together operators, manufacturers, service providers, researchers and institutional stakeholders, the event will provide a forum to exchange perspectives on the future of communications and media distribution infrastructures.
