The GSMA (Groupe Speciale Mobile Association) is an industry organization that represents the interests of mobile network operators worldwide. While not a space organization itself, GSMA actively collaborates with space agencies like ESA to integrate satellite communications with terrestrial mobile networks, including 5G and future 6G. They work to foster innovation and develop new technologies that leverage both terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, and they have launched initiatives aimed at providing funding and training to help the industry pioneer new solutions. GSMA's partnerships aim to extend connectivity to underserved communities and open up new revenue streams for telecommunications companies.
