Welcome to the April 2025 issue of Satellite Mobility World. This month, we cover Neo Space, Saudi Arabia's recently formed space business venture, Globalstar, Aura Networks, and Quvia (formerly Neuron).

Following our focus on the UAE, we highlight a similar space business renaissance in Saudia Arabia. In Neo Space: Saudi Arabia's Space Business Champion, CEO Martijn Blanken enlightens us on the Kingdom's space business strategies and offers a look at Neo Space's aggressive new initiatives in earth observation, geospatial analysis, and inflight connectivity.

Under CEO Dr. Paul Jacob's leadership, Globalstar recently introduced two-way IoT capability and partnered with defense contractor Parsons. Read about these new initiatives designed to enhance the company's position in IoT and military markets and accelerate its growth.

In The Challenge of Multi-Orbit IFC, Quvia Sr. VP of Aviation Mike Moeller highlights the advantages of multi-orbit IFC, the challenges of delivering a high-quality customer experience on a fast-moving aircraft, and the value of AI-based NMS solutions.

We're also focusing on uncrewed aircraft. We'll soon see major markets emerging for beyond-the-line-of-sight applications catalyzed by new FAA regulations. In our Aura interview, CEO Kevin Steen overviews Aura Network's secure command, control, and communication radio network. He explains why drones will play a significant role in infrastructure inspection and cargo transport. 

In our editorial, Partisan Politics at the FCC: A Threat to Fair Regulation, we express our concern over Elon Musk's unparalleled influence over the Agency. Enjoy!
