European operators align strategy to bring satellite communications to mobile phones

SAPO Tek8 September 2026 at 17:31

The largest European telecommunications operators are discussing the creation of a consortium to dispute the satellite spectrum that the European Union intends to reserve for direct-to-mobile services.

The objective of this consortium would be to allow satellite communications to reach European consumers' mobile devices directly, without the need for additional equipment.

This initiative comes in a context where the European Union is defining policies for satellite spectrum management, intending to reserve frequencies for these direct communication services.

This movement represents an attempt by European operators to strategically position themselves in the emerging satellite mobile communications market.
