Connectivity is the critical infrastructure of the AI economy. From 6G to terrestrial and satellite network integration, five BCG experts share their #MWC26# highlights about the future of connectivity. #BCGatMWC#

BREAKING: Starlink is transforming connectivity at sea 🌊🛰️ WELCOME has rolled out next-gen Maritime Wi-Fi across hundreds of vessels worldwide. Powered by Starlink with speeds of up to 400 Mbps, the service can scale from charter boats to massive cruise ships. The ocean is getting connected like never before. 🚀

A new satellite connectivity capability is taking shape in New Zealand. @2degreesmobile has officially opened the Marton Satellite Ground Station. The gateway links AST SpaceMobile’s global satellite system with 2degrees’ core infrastructure, advancing integration to deliver voice, broadband data and text directly to everyday smartphones, without specialized devices. With nearly 50 gateways in various stages of completion, installation, and planning, we continue to build out our global gateway footprint, bringing us another step closer to commercial service for people to stay seamlessly connected wherever they live, work and travel. #ASTSpaceMobile# #Broadband# #ConnectingtheUnconnected# #BlueBirds#

Starlink is pushing offshore connectivity to a completely different level TGS vessels used to transfer around 200 GB of seismic data per day With Starlink, that has jumped to as much as 10 TB per day Up to 50× more data moving off a ship while it is still at sea Starlink also delivered: • 30× lower latency • 15× faster uploads • Connectivity deep into Arctic waters Before, massive seismic datasets often had to be physically carried back to shore Now they can move directly into the cloud from the middle of the ocean, where engineers can analyze them almost immediately And think about where this goes beyond just energy exploration • Real-time seismic and ocean monitoring • Faster disaster response • Better offshore hazard detection • Potentially stronger earthquake early-warning infrastructure in remote regions The ability to move enormous amounts of sensor data instantly from places that were basically disconnected before can become incredibly important for the entire world Starlink is turning the middle of the ocean into part of the global data network

Starlink is delivering reliable connectivity onboard @HYUNDAI_GLOVIS vessels, enabling efficient operations, rapid emergency communications, and seamless internet for crew in key ports and during ocean voyages 🛰️❤️
