🛰️ IRIS²: Europe’s Answer to Secure, Sovereign Satellite Internet
Many countries with limited telecom infrastructure are turning to satellite internet—often to Starlink. But relying on a single, geostrategically sensitive provider comes with risks: data sovereignty, dependency, and unpredictable access.
Enter IRIS², the EU’s new secure satellite constellation. Designed for resilience, interoperability, and security, IRIS² aims to provide high-speed, encrypted connectivity across Europe and beyond, especially where cables and towers fail.
Why it matters:
- Digital sovereignty: No more reliance on non-EU providers for critical communications.
- Multi-orbit resilience: Combines LEO and MEO satellites for low latency and global coverage.
- Beyond broadband: Supports crisis management, healthcare, and secure government operations.
- Future-proof: Built for 5G/6G, quantum-safe encryption, and seamless integration with terrestrial networks.
First services start in 2029, full deployment by 2030. A strategic move—not just for Europe, but for any region seeking independent, reliable connectivity.
