DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nJoin us for an insightful keynote by Professor Halim Yani
 komeroglu\, where he will explore how future wireless systems will extend 
 far beyond traditional terrestrial infrastructure by tightly integrating n
 on-terrestrial networks (NTN)\, including satellites and aerial platforms\
 , to enable direct connectivity to devices\, vehicles\, sensors\, and user
 s anywhere on Earth. The talk will highlight emerging Direct-to-X (D2X) ca
 pabilities\, multi-layer NTN architectures\, and key 6G use cases. Prof. Y
 anikomeroglu will also discuss the major technical\, regulatory\, and comm
 ercial challenges\, and outline how NTN will become a defining pillar of t
 he 6G vision through the 2030s.\n\nLunch will be provided.\n\nSpeaker(s): 
 Prof. Halim Yanikomeroglu\, \n\nRoom: RBCx Finance Quarter\, Bldg: Hub350\
