Eurobites: Danish Duo Merge to Target 5G NTN Market
Two Danish satellite specialists have merged to sharpen their focus on the emerging 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN) market, aiming to serve mobile and telecom operators that want to extend 5G coverage via satellite. The combined company plans to use its existing space and ground-segment expertise to support 5G services in hard-to-reach areas, where traditional towers and fiber are too costly or impractical.
Elsewhere in Europe, a bereaved family has challenged Vodafone’s franchise policy after struggling with the handling of a deceased customer’s account. Deutsche Telekom has teamed up with Nvidia to explore cloud gaming over 5G, using edge computing to cut latency. In regulatory action, the EU has fined X (formerly Twitter) €120 million for failures related to its blue checkmark system, saying the platform misled users about what verification actually meant.
