  • The two companies combine mobile and satellite systems to offer a new secure communication platform.
  • The solution aims to help public safety, emergency services and other essential sectors maintain operational continuity.

What happened: New hybrid platform combines mobile and satellite systems

Vodafone and Airbus now work together to build a secure communication service. This service will connect mobile networks and satellite systems. It is made for groups that need stable and constant communication. These include public safety teams, energy companies, and transport services. Vodafone will manage the mobile part. Airbus will provide the satellite services and special tools for critical needs.

The system uses 4G and 5G signals from the ground. It also uses satellites when mobile signals are weak or do not work. This makes sure the connection stays on. It helps in places where the signal is poor or during power cuts and disasters. Devices can move between mobile and satellite signals without stopping. This service supports efforts in Europe to make digital systems safer. The news first came from The Critical Communications Review.

Why this is important

Many countries in Europe worry about how to keep networks safe and working. Some phone service failures have caused problems for hospitals, emergency workers, and other important groups. One system is not enough. When mobile networks stop, the work also stops. A second system like satellites can help. It keeps the signal going. Airbus has worked on secure communication for defence. Vodafone has large mobile coverage. They bring their skills together.

The European Union started the IRIS² programme. It helps governments have safe satellite links. The Vodafone and Airbus service fits with this goal. It may become part of Europe’s wider network. Other companies like OneWeb and Starlink also use satellites. But they often focus on homes and general use. Vodafone and Airbus focus on keeping public services running. This helps hospitals, police, and transport systems stay online at all times.
