| summary | European industrial and digital policies must prioritize the integration of satellite and non-terrestrial networks within the 6G ecosystem. Key initiatives like IRIS are central to this process, addressing technical (spectrum, interoperability), regulatory, and logistical challenges. A critical focus is ensuring the future spectrum roadmap accommodates both IMT and complementary technologies, particularly with the impending expiration of 2 GHz MSS licenses in 2027. This necessitates a strategic approach balancing MSS, direct-to-device (D2D) communication, and 6G/IMT needs within a hybrid connectivity framework. D2D and hybrid models hold significant potential for enhanced coverage, resilience, and innovation. Lessons from existing projects and international partnerships will shape Europe’s 6G development. Ultimately, the goal is a truly integrated and future-proof connectivity ecosystem, incorporating advanced Wi-Fi, IoT, and satellite technologies across diverse use cases. |
