- News & Media
- Activities & Events
- Governance (reserved for SATA members only)
- Resolutions (reserved for SATA members only)

Overcoming the challenges of knowledge sharing with the SATA Digital Sharing Platform
With the SATA Connect as a collaboration tool, everything is in one digital workspace. The people, organization updates, documents, projects, communication - all together, and all instantly searchable.
The SATA digital sharing platform is accessible to both members of SATA and the general public. The Digital Sharing Platform will help SATA members stay connected and work together. It will help in building stronger identity and relationships within the SATA community through the sharing of information among themselves and with the general public also.
SATA Connect - the mobile app, available on Android and IOS
SATA Members can also access the Digital Sharing Platform by using a native IOS and Android Mobile App which can be downloaded from App store and Play Store.
The mobile app will provide greater opportunity for sharing, even while on the move. Members will receive push notifications on any activity going on the website/App, like for instance publication of a new content (article, blogs, videos, photos etc.), comments, etc. The secure in-app messaging tool, available on both web and App, allows SATA members to communicate more easily among themselves.
On another note, Mr Singh also talked about 'Roam like home', an initiative to decrease roaming prices in member states. And he invited the SATA member countries to sign the agreements and come on board. "It's high time we have the 'Roam like home' network for SATA", he added.
