EU speeds up Iris 2 satellite rollout
The European Union emphasized the acceleration of the "IRIS 2" satellite project to begin operating its services in 2029 instead of 2030, aiming to enhance and rapidly expand secure communications in response to increasing security developments. The update includes the addition of 66 satellites, bringing the total number of satellites to 348, with additional funding required, including investments from member states, though the exact amount of funding has not been specified. The program, with a budget of over $18 billion, aims to build a unified and independent European communications system, reducing reliance on American technology and improving secure communication capabilities across the continent.
