Mobile World Live Industry Survey Report 2026

Global satellite connectivity is rapidly moving from a niche capability to a mainstream part of the mobile ecosystem. As this year’s Mobile World Live survey shows, industry attention is increasingly shifting toward Low Earth Orbit (LEO) architectures and direct-to-device (D2D) services to deliver low-latency, space-based connectivity at scale.

Globalstar has been at the forefront of this transformation, pioneering large-scale D2D deployments that seamlessly complement terrestrial networks. While the opportunity is significant from IoT expansion to everyday mobility applications reaching tens of millions of devices, the report also highlights the importance of navigating regulatory complexity and cross-border considerations.
