Partnership for Strategy Development
During the Industry Space Days 2026 event held on September 22 at ESA’s ESTEC facility in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, LMT Group and Novaspace revealed they will cooperate to devise a strategy for a 5G/6G satellite communications hub in Latvia.
LMT Group, Latvia’s leading mobile telecommunications operator, will contribute its expertise in terrestrial network rollout, while Novaspace, a specialist in space communications and satellite systems, will provide the satellite‑related know‑how.
The aim of the collaboration is to design an integrated network that supports both 5G and future 6G standards via satellite, ensuring seamless connectivity across urban and rural areas of Latvia.
The planned hub is intended to serve as a test and demonstration platform for validating technologies such as beamforming, network slicing, and edge computing in a space context, while also strengthening the digital infrastructure of the Baltic region.
