Univity lève 27 millions d'euros pour des satellites innovants

La start-up française Univity a levé 27 millions d'euros. Cet argent vient de plusieurs investisseurs importants. Parmi eux, on trouve Blast et Bpifrance.

Univity a été créée en 2022 par Charles Delfieux. Son objectif est de construire un réseau de satellites partagé. Les opérateurs téléphoniques pourront utiliser ce réseau pour offrir un internet rapide depuis l'espace.

Les satellites d'Univity voleront très bas, à environ 375 km de la Terre. Cette distance courte permet une connexion plus rapide et plus stable. Les appareils comme les smartphones et les voitures connectées en profiteront.

Univity utilise aussi le spectre 5G des opérateurs. Cela évite de partager des fréquences déjà utilisées. Les opérateurs pourront vendre ce service sous leur propre marque.

Le nouvel investissement financera deux nouveaux satellites. Ils seront lancés en 2027. Le service complet devrait arriver en 2028. Univity veut aider les opérateurs à rester compétitifs.
