SpaceRISE brings into use Ka-mil capability, thereby securing filings of Europe’s Ka spectrum on the IRIS² orbit

SpaceRISE announces that it successfully brought into use Ka mil capability through a dedicated Low Earth Orbit Satellite operated by Eutelsat, one of many among the large fleets of multi-orbital satellites operated by the members of SpaceRISE. By leveraging Ka mil, a part of the Ka frequency range harmonised for military and governmental use, SpaceRISE thereby secures its filings of Europe’s Ka spectrum on the IRIS² orbit. 

The securing of Ka mil frequency further assures flexibility of use for a wide array of key applications on IRIS², designed to connect Europe and the world securely, supporting sovereign and governmental communications.
