Satcom Evolves: Integration, Resilience & Sovereignty at SatShow 2026

Motorola Solutions Extends Resilient, Mission-Critical Communications and AI with T-Satellite from T-Mobile https://lnkd.in/eaYSSSrQ Motorola Solutions and T-Mobile announced a collaboration to bring satellite connectivity to Motorola Solutions' APX NEXT smart radios. The radios, designed to intelligently unify networks including land mobile radio (LMR), 5G and Wi-Fi, can now operate leveraging T-Priority from T-Mobile - bringing first responders more capacity and faster speeds. They can also access T-Satellite with Starlink’s low earth orbit (LEO) direct-to-cell satellite network for seamlessly extended connectivity. Together, these technologies deliver resilient communications and real-time intelligence for first responders wherever the mission leads.

UNIVITY has raised €27M Series A to advance its VLEO satellite constellation, bringing total funding to ~€67M. The model is clear: a wholesale, space-based connectivity layer for telecom operators, designed to integrate with 5G networks rather than compete for end users. Near term, the focus is on two demo satellites (uniShape) to validate end-to-end performance. Longer term, the roadmap points to a ~3,400-satellite VLEO constellation. It’s a technically ambitious bet (VLEO comes with real constraints) but the positioning is deliberate: extend terrestrial networks via space, not replace them.
