Space solutions that connect the world and redefine what’s possible.

We are excited to showcase our next-generation space solutions at MWC 2026. By combining integrated, purpose-built satellite connectivity, with pioneering initiatives like IRIS² and meoSphere, we are building the world’s trusted space ecosystem for governments and businesses worldwide.

From advancing sovereign capabilities and quantum key distribution (QKD) to enabling rapid emergency coverage and powering industrial IoT, our solutions deliver unmatched reliability and continuity through multi-orbit architectures. And with direct-to-device (D2D) capabilities via Lynk, we’re redefining cellular network reach and expanding connectivity to every corner of the globe.
