Last week, and came together at MWC Barcelona to showcase , a new approach to direct-to-device mobility designed to deliver everywhere.

Across multiple sessions, industry leaders explored what it takes to build space-enabled mobility that is:

Ubiquitous: Global coverage through harmonized spectrum

Sovereign: Infrastructure that respects national autonomy and data governance

Affordable: Shared infrastructure delivering the lowest unit cost of capacity

Scalable: Architecture that grows with demand and new participants

Frictionless: Seamless transition between terrestrial and networks

Transformational: Redefining mobile satellite services for the 3GPP era

Thank you to everyone who joined us. Watch the week’s greatest highlights.

Today, women make up just one-third of the global scientific community. Every perspective brought to science widens our understanding of the world we share, from the ground to orbit and beyond.

Science grows stronger when it grows more inclusive. The wider the circle, the more we all stand to gain.

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate everyone who actively works to include more women in science. Most of all, we celebrate the women who help us see the entire world, whole and connected.
