ICEYE has partnered with Nokia to develop secure, sovereign low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications systems for government and defense markets. This collaboration is aimed at enhancing operational resilience and ensuring that nations can fully own and control their communications infrastructure, allowing for critical connectivity even during disruptions.
The project combines ICEYE’s expertise in satellite missions and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology with Nokia’s secure networking infrastructure. Together, they plan to deliver high-throughput, low-latency connectivity for defense operations, border security, emergency services, and disaster response. The first satellites are scheduled to launch in 2028.
This partnership marks a significant step toward enabling nations to have a resilient communications network that can withstand challenging conditions.
