Everyone works on a common project based on shared values: endorsing both internally and publicly the values in which the Group believes.
Satellites are a vital part of the connectivity ecosystem. Their wide coverage area guarantees reliable, high-capacity, high-speed communications to even the most remote communities.
Playing a key role in digital migration, satellites offer a clear advantage, especially when it comes to delivering linear content. The exclusive use of terrestrial broadband networks could leave a significant proportion of consumers permanently unable to access linear and non-linear services in areas with no terrestrial coverage.
Compared to the coverage and capabilities of terrestrial networks, satellites provide cost-effective and immediate access to customers across the coverage. They enable all citizens to be supplied with a similar service across regions instantaneously, and maximize the route to market as they deliver to all networks, be it Direct-to-Home or by distributing content to other networks, including cable, terrestrial and IP networks.
Satellites also help terrestrial network operators to meet growing bandwidth demands. They complement existing networks and offer secure backhaul services for rural communities. When connecting remote networks to the main internet backbone and cellular infrastructure, they are often the only technology able to provide communications with 99% reliability. They are the natural solution in rural areas and anywhere with varied topography and where the cost of deploying fibre is simply too high.
Service providers often struggle to provide solutions beyond the range of terrestrial networks. At Eutelsat, we believe in delivering infinite connectivity, helping our partners address business opportunities across the globe.
Working closely with broadcasters, fixed and mobile network operators and service providers we deliver a full range of video, data and broadband services including internet connectivity and backhauling for IoT, mobile and corporate networks worldwide.
