 EUROPE'S STARLINK COMPETITOR IS GO (2 MINUTE READ) [8] 

 The EU's IRIS2 constellation is expected to come online by 2030. The
Starlink competitor will provide secure connectivity to Europe and
bring high-speed internet to dead zones. SpaceRISE, a consortium led
by European satellite network operators and supported by European
satcom subcontractors, has been given a 12-year concession contract to
develop, deploy, and operate the IRIS2 constellation. The EU's
partnership with SpaceRISE is intended to demonstrate the power of
public-private collaboration in driving innovation and delivering
tangible benefits to all Europeans.
