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.Ĭompared to the coverage and capabilities of terrestrial networks, satellites provide cost-effective and immediate access to customers across the coverage. Playing a key role in digital migration, satellites offer a clear advantage, especially when it comes to delivering linear content. Their wide coverage area guarantees reliable, high-capacity, high-speed communications to even the most remote communities. Satellites are a vital part of the connectivity ecosystem. 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. This long and rich track record makes us one of the most experienced commercial satellite operators in the world.Įutelsat 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. We were created as an international organisation in 1977, launched our first satellite in 1983 and became a private company in 2001.

With a fleet of 36 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.
