This press release was issued by Airbus.
Airbus, Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), and the Office for Space Technology and Industry (OSTIn) – Singapore’s national space office – have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly advance the development of Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) technologies in Singapore.
Signed on the sidelines of Asia Tech x Singapore (ATxSG) 2025, the initiative reflects a shared ambition to drive technological innovation and digital connectivity through advanced satellite-enabled communications.
The multi-year MoU will see Airbus, IMDA and OSTIn work together to identify and develop key 5G/6G NTN solutions focusing on integration with Terrestrial Networks (TN) to enable seamless, hybrid connectivity. The initiative will evaluate a range of use cases across aviation, maritime, and public safety domains, whilst leveraging other enabling or differentiating technologies.
As the project moves forward, Airbus, IMDA and OSTIn will also engage with research institutions and industry partners to build a strong consortium supporting innovation to harness the full potential of NTN.
