IT之家 10 月 1 日消息，诺基亚与芬兰卫星初创公司 Iceye 宣布建立合作伙伴关系，将共同开发一套适用于欧洲的卫星通信平台。双方计划从 2028 年起每年发射最多 50 颗低地球轨道卫星。
按照规划，该服务将由卫星和地面终端组成，并与现有陆基通信网络协同工作。在陆地通信网络发生中断时，相关平台可继续为军队、应急人员和政府部门给出不依赖境外服务商的通信能力。
诺基亚 CEO 贾斯汀・霍塔德（Justin Hotard）表示，通信业务正从传统的无线电通信和移动通信，进一步延伸至感知以及任务关键型连接。他认为，通信能力也越来越与观测和探测结合。
欧洲各国政府近年来正加快建设自主卫星能力。ICEYE 官方资料表明，截至 2026 年，该公司已经为欧洲多个政府给出主权卫星平台，并将卫星、地面基础设施以及数据处理能力整合为完整平台。
依据合作思路，这套平台基于欧洲工艺构建，卫星、地面段和终端设备均由使用国具备和控制。平台外观为补充而非替代军用和商业网络，旨在为国防、边境安全、应急服务和灾害响应等任务给出高吞吐量、低延迟连接。
Iceye CEO 兼联合创始人 Rafal Modrzewski 表示，各国必须可以完全具备和控制自己的通信，而不依赖外国商业运营商的条款。他提到，Iceye 此前在不到一年内为波兰交付了雷达卫星平台，与诺基亚合作将让卫星通信以类似速度推进。
欧洲各国政府正加快构建国家卫星能力。欧盟于 2026 年 8 月宣布扩充其 IRIS² 主权卫星计划，将主星座扩展至 348 颗卫星，首次发射提前至 2029 年。波兰总理 Donald Tusk 在 9 月表示，该国与 Iceye 和 PGZ 的合作最终可能催生“波兰版 Starlink”。
与此同时，诺基亚正在扩大传统移动网络基础设施以外的业务范围，并加大对卫星设备和数据中心设备的投入。2026 年 6 月，Iceye 完成超过 10 亿欧元的融资，估值超过 100 亿欧元（IT之家注：现汇率约合 761.3 亿元人民币），诺基亚作为战略投资者参与其中。
Iceye 当下年产约 50 颗卫星，计划到 2028 年将产能翻倍至 100 颗。该公司 2025 年营收超过 2.5 亿欧元，EBITDA 超过 1 亿欧元，合同积压超过 15 亿欧元。
与此同时，SpaceX 的 Starlink 已表示可能借助直接竞争客户来挑战美国电信运营商，促使部分欧美电信运营商开始讨论组建合资企业竞标卫星频谱。欧洲四大电信运营商 —— 德国电信、Orange、沃达丰和西班牙电信 —— 也在洽谈组建联盟，计划共同竞标卫星频谱并给出卫星直连手机服务。

IT之家, October 1 - Nokia and Finnish satellite startup Iceye have announced a partnership to jointly develop a satellite communication platform for Europe. The two sides plan to launch up to 50 low Earth orbit satellites per year starting in 2028.
Under the plan, the service will consist of satellites and ground terminals and will work in coordination with existing terrestrial communications networks. When terrestrial communications networks are disrupted, the platform can continue to provide military, emergency personnel and government departments with communications capabilities that do not rely on foreign service providers.
Nokia CEO Justin Hotard said communications business is expanding from traditional radio and mobile communications to sensing and mission-critical connectivity. He believes communications capabilities are increasingly being combined with observation and detection.
European governments have in recent years been accelerating the development of sovereign satellite capabilities. According to ICEYE official materials, as of 2026, the company has delivered sovereign satellite platforms to several European governments, integrating satellites, ground infrastructure and data processing capabilities into a complete platform.
Under the cooperation concept, the platform will be built based on European processes, with satellites, ground segment and terminal equipment owned and controlled by the user countries. The platform is positioned as a complement rather than a replacement to military and commercial networks, aiming to provide high-throughput, low-latency connectivity for defense, border security, emergency services and disaster response missions.
Iceye CEO and co-founder Rafal Modrzewski said countries must be able to fully own and control their own communications without relying on the terms of foreign commercial operators. He noted that Iceye previously delivered a radar satellite platform to Poland in less than a year, and cooperation with Nokia will allow satellite communications to advance at a similar pace.
European governments are accelerating the development of national satellite capabilities. In August 2026, the EU announced the expansion of its IRIS² sovereign satellite program, increasing the main constellation to 348 satellites and moving the first launch up to 2029. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in September that cooperation with Iceye and PGZ could ultimately give rise to a "Polish Starlink."
At the same time, Nokia is expanding beyond its traditional mobile network infrastructure business and increasing investment in satellite equipment and data center equipment. In June 2026, Iceye completed a funding round of more than 1 billion euros, with a valuation exceeding 10 billion euros (IT Home note: approximately 76.13 billion yuan at the current exchange rate), with Nokia participating as a strategic investor.
Iceye currently produces about 50 satellites per year and plans to double capacity to 100 satellites by 2028. The company's 2025 revenue exceeded 250 million euros, EBITDA exceeded 100 million euros, and contract backlog exceeded 1.5 billion euros.
At the same time, SpaceX's Starlink has indicated that it may challenge U.S. telecom operators through direct competition with customers, prompting some European and American telecom operators to begin discussing the formation of joint ventures to bid for satellite spectrum. Four major European telecom operators - Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Vodafone and Telefonica - are also in talks to form an alliance, planning to jointly bid for satellite spectrum and offer satellite direct-to-phone services.
