Eutelsat to play central role in delivering Europe's IRIS² connectivity infrastructure Paris, 07 August 2026 – Eutelsat (ISIN: FR0010221234 – Euronext Paris / London Stock Exchange: ETL) welcomes the successful completion of the IRIS2 programme's First Rendez-Vous, paving the way for the full industrial execution of Europe's sovereign multi-orbit connectivity infrastructure, offering additional capacity and enhanced technical performance relative to the initial project. Eutelsat to play central role in delivering the next phase of Europe’s sovereign IRIS² connectivity infrastructure - Major milestone reached for the IRIS² programme further strengthening sovereign connectivity capabilities through enhanced resilience and improved long-term operational performance - Eutelsat confirmed as lead of the LEO segment, further cementing its position as a core player in Europe's future sovereign connectivity infrastructure - Programme will provide Eutelsat with enhanced network capacity and next-generation technological capabilities, driving future service expansion and long-term revenue generation throughout the IRIS² concession and beyond Paris, 07 August 2026 – Eutelsat (ISIN: FR0010221234 – Euronext Paris / London Stock Exchange: ETL) welcomes the successful completion of the IRIS2 programme's First Rendez-Vous, paving the way for the full industrial execution of Europe's sovereign multi-orbit connectivity infrastructure, offering additional capacity and enhanced technical performance relative to the initial project. Combining an inclined orbital architecture with beamforming antennas and 5G NTN, it will dynamically direct capacity to where demand is greatest, providing higher throughput, improved service quality and more efficient use of network resources. Optical inter-satellite links will further enhance resilience, extend service availability and reduce reliance on ground infrastructure, benefiting governments, enterprises, mobility and other mission-critical applications. The constellation will also support a new generation of smaller, lighter and more affordable user terminals, making high-performance satellite connectivity accessible to a broader range of customers. This milestone marks the transition from programme definition to execution. Industrial activities will now accelerate across Europe, with manufacturing, system integration and infrastructure deployment commencing immediately.
