Telefonica Spain, Sateliot team on 5G NTN services
Telefonica Spain and Barcelona-based Sateliot have announced a strategic collaboration to integrate 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks with terrestrial 5G standalone deployments, moving NTN from standards discussion into active deployment planning. Built on the 3GPP Release 17 NTN standard and validated through a 2023 ESA-supervised interoperability test, the partnership targets defense, industrial IoT, maritime, and critical infrastructure sectors. The hybrid architecture supports unmodified NB-IoT devices connecting directly via LEO satellite, lowering enterprise adoption barriers and establishing a replicable model for operator-satellite collaboration across the telecom industry.

MWC 2026 Keynote 4: What Does Strategic Tech Sovereignty Mean for Europe?
