About Eutelsat Communications

Eutelsat Communications is a leading satellite communications group focused on global connectivity and content distribution. The company now operates a multi-orbit platform that combines geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellites with the OneWeb low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation, enabling a resilient, secure and low-latency service offering. Its solutions primarily address three major end-markets: video broadcasting, enterprise and telecom data connectivity, and mission-critical communications for governments, NGOs, maritime, aviation and mobility customers. Eutelsat’s roots go back to 1977, when the organization was formed to operate the first generation of communications satellites ordered by the European Space Agency. That history makes Eutelsat one of Europe’s long-standing pioneers in the space communications industry. Following telecom liberalisation, operational assets and activities were transferred into a listed company, Eutelsat Communications, which now serves as the holding company for the group. In 2023, the combination with OneWeb marked a major strategic shift by creating the world’s first fully integrated GEO-LEO satellite operator. From a market standpoint, Eutelsat has a differentiated positioning because it combines the wide coverage and capacity of GEO satellites with the low-latency and flexibility advantages of LEO assets. According to the company’s own disclosures, the group has a fleet of 34 GEO satellites and more than 650 LEO satellites, operates in over 50 countries, and broadcasts around 6,500 TV channels to more than one billion viewers worldwide. This asset base and customer reach give Eutelsat a meaningful role in the European and global satellite telecom ecosystem. Eutelsat also emphasizes its contribution to sovereignty and critical communications, including participation in European programmes such as IRIS². The company is headquartered in Paris, France, with its registered office in Issy-les-Moulineaux, and employs roughly 1,600 people worldwide. As a next-generation satellite operator, Eutelsat sits at the intersection of digital infrastructure, defense-grade communications, broadcast media and global connectivity services, supported by a continuously evolving technology and commercial platform.
