Multi-Orbit Satellite Connectivity and Space Network Infrastructure

SES is one of the world’s largest satellite network operators, delivering broadband, enterprise, government, maritime, aviation, media and cloud connectivity services through an integrated fleet of geostationary (GEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites. Its multi-orbit strategy combines high-capacity MEO services with global GEO coverage to provide resilient, low-latency communications across terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks.

Why It Matters

SES is a pioneer in multi-orbit satellite networking. Its O3b and O3b mPOWER MEO constellations deliver fiber-like connectivity to enterprises, cloud providers, governments and telecom operators, while its GEO fleet supports global broadcast, mobility and resilient communications. The company’s acquisition of Intelsat further expands its global infrastructure and customer reach.
