Four major European telecom operators, Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica, and Vodafone, are collaborating to develop satellite mobile phone services. They signed a letter of intent to explore joint participation in an upcoming frequency auction for these services in Europe. The initiative aims to enhance Direct-to-Device (D2D) technology, allowing mobile phones to connect directly to satellites, especially in areas lacking terrestrial coverage. The companies plan to create a European model for satellite communication services, ensuring open access for all mobile operators. They will develop the necessary terrestrial infrastructure while partnering with a specialized satellite communications provider. This collaboration seeks to improve market integration, competition, and resilience of public networks, particularly in emergencies.
