TM Forum launches ODA for Satellite project to unlock multi-billion dollar space-telco connectivity opportunity

▤ Summary

TM Forum has launched the ODA for Satellite project to standardize how telco and satellite companies integrate their systems. The initiative targets a multi-billion-dollar connectivity opportunity by reducing fragmentation, incompatible billing, and slow integrations. It extends TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture to support interoperable, multi-orbit service delivery and partner-led offerings. The project involves 16 member organizations, including Airbus, Vodacom, Terrestar, and several software and telecom vendors. The launch creates a clear framework for ecosystem partners to build, integrate, and sell satellite-enabled telecom services.
