Ukraine is looking for a replacement for Starlink The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Finnish companies Nokia and ICEYE to examine the possibility of creating a national satellite communication system. The decision comes amid ongoing problems with Starlink's speed limit. According to Ukrainian officials, the restriction remains in place: Starlink terminals still encounter problems when operating on high-speed carriers - mainly as UAVs traveling faster than 160 km/h. This contradicts previous claims in the US that the problem has been solved. The joint concept of Nokia and ICEYE provides for the creation of a satellite communication system based on a low-orbit constellation, where the customer will control the satellites, the ground infrastructure and the terminals. The first devices are planned to be launched no earlier than 2028, but there are still no specific contracts for delivery to Ukraine.
