What happened
neXat was selected by the European Space Agency to lead CableShield, a €1.5 million ARTES 4S project to design, build and field‑demonstrate an automated multi‑orbit satellite backup system for submarine fibre‑optic cable networks, working with Telesat and Colt Technology Services Belgium.
Why it matters
This ESA‑funded project formalises satellite pooling & sharing as an automated resilience layer for global subsea connectivity, accelerating integration of multi‑orbit satcom as a practical backup for critical telecom infrastructure.
