Flexsat Asia

Eutelsat is partnering with Space Tech Innovation Limited (STI), a subsidiary of Thaicom, to expand in-orbit assets by deploying Flexsat Asia, a new state-of-the-art software-defined satellite (SDS).

Designed to address the surging demand for connectivity across Asia, this high-throughput satellite, will provide an additional 50 Gbps of capacity, enhancing Eutelsat’s ability to deliver seamless telecommunication services throughout the region. 

This innovative satellite will offer unprecedented flexibility with real-time in-orbit adjustments to optimize coverage, bandwidth, and power allocation. As part of the partnership, Eutelsat will lease and operate 50% of the satellite’s capacity over its lifetime, complementing Eutelsat’s multi-orbit approach that integrates GEO and LEO networks for enhanced service delivery.

With this cutting-edge satellite, Eutelsat will capture new growth opportunities in Asia while meeting the region’s increasing demand for high-quality connectivity solutions.

Flexsat Asia will provide service throughout the continent from its orbital position at the 119.5° East.

Flexsat Asia is expected to be delivered in 2027.
