Space and Terrestrial Networks Converge

As space and ground networks begin to merge, UNIVITY and Telespazio France are teaming up to redefine global connectivity. UNIVITY, a leader in space-based internet services, and Telespazio France, a European expert in satellite operations, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Their goal is to create a universal, reliable, and accessible connectivity solution for users worldwide. This partnership combines innovation and expertise to speed up high-speed internet deployment anywhere in the world.

Moreover, the collaboration ensures that global businesses, governments, and public services have access to secure and dependable networks.

Joint Tests to Build a Global Offer

As part of the agreement, Telespazio France will take part in UNIVITY’s testing campaigns. These trials will demonstrate the performance of UNIVITY’s technology for both civil and defense clients. Additionally, the aim is to integrate this technology into Telespazio’s service catalog. This will create a complete connectivity package that blends ground infrastructure with a Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) satellite constellation.

Global Coverage and Cost Efficiency

The partnership will provide wide-reaching coverage thanks to UNIVITY’s future constellation and Telespazio’s international network. This makes it possible to deliver reliable service to underserved areas. UNIVITY will also benefit from Telespazio’s strategic teleports and operational know-how. Together, the companies will offer solutions that are cost-effective, easy to integrate, and scalable for telecom operators worldwide.

Synergies Beyond Connectivity

The collaboration goes beyond broadband. The partners are exploring other space-related opportunities such as satellite-based population alerts, space surveillance, and secondary payload missions. These added capabilities will improve digital security, resilience, and sovereignty. Furthermore, the partnership supports broader European space initiatives, strengthening the industry’s global competitiveness.

Leaders’ Statements

Charles Delfieux, President and Founder of UNIVITY, said: “This agreement marks a strategic milestone for UNIVITY. It confirms our ambition to build a hybrid connectivity model that combines terrestrial and space networks. Together with Telespazio France, we are shaping a global vision of universal, competitive connectivity.”

Corinne Mailles, Deputy CEO of Telespazio France, added: “Our partnership with UNIVITY aligns perfectly with our goal to support the NewSpace ecosystem. We are proud to contribute to a new European space connectivity offer that is reliable, efficient, and innovative.”

UNIVITY: A New Model for Connectivity

UNIVITY’s business model centers on telecom operators, offering simplicity, efficiency, and cost savings. Its architecture uses 5G spectrum and a VLEO deployment below 375 km. This allows high-speed, low-latency internet services for everything from enterprise-grade applications to direct-to-cell connections.

High-Performance, Sustainable Connectivity

The partnership delivers connectivity that is fast, affordable, and sustainable. UNIVITY’s constellation complements existing fiber and cellular networks and extends service to rural, remote, or crisis-affected areas. This collaboration makes it possible for more people worldwide to access high-quality internet.
