EUTELSAT

With a fleet of 34 satellites serving broadcasters, video service providers, telecom operators, ISPs and government agencies operating across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Americas, Eutelsat is one of the leading operators in the commercial satellite business.

We were created as an international organisation in 1977, launched our first satellite in 1983 and became a private company in 2001. This long and rich track record makes us one of the most experienced commercial satellite operators in the world.

Eutelsat satellites are used for video broadcasting, satellite newsgathering, broadband services, data connectivity, connecting aeroplanes and ships, enabling mission-critical government and NGO communications needs, and more.

Our focus is on delivering the highest quality of service through technological performance, market expertise and innovation. Committed to promoting all facets of sustainable development across our business activities, we leverage our in-orbit resources to help bridge the digital divide while maintaining a safe and uncluttered space environment.

Eutelsat’s mission is to anticipate future needs with cutting-edge satellite technology, opening ways to new forms of communication which enable all to connect across the globe.

As one of the world’s leading satellite operators, Eutelsat contributes to the vibrant growth of a worldwide network of high-tech companies.

At Eutelsat, personal commitment and teamwork are essential to achieving shared and ambitious goals. Our employees strive to unleash the potential of cutting-edge technologies so that users around the world can benefit from the ultimate video and connectivity services experience.

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.
