Eutelsat Group

Overview Eutelsat Group is a European satellite operator providing multi‑orbit connectivity and broadcast services. The company combines a fleet of geostationary (GEO) satellites with a low Earth orbit (LEO) broadband constellation to deliver global coverage with both high throughput and low latency. Eutelsat Group is headquartered in the Paris metropolitan area (Issy‑les‑Moulineaux) and is listed on Euronext Paris under the ticker ETL. Business Lines and Services • Video: GEO satellites deliver direct‑to‑home television, video distribution, and contribution services across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas, including the long‑standing HOTBIRD neighborhood and other regional video platforms. • Connectivity: The group offers fixed and mobile broadband solutions for enterprises and telecom operators, as well as backhaul for mobile networks and universal service programs. Mobility services cover aviation and maritime markets. • Government and Sovereign: Secure connectivity, managed services, and rapid‑deployment solutions for government and defense users; offerings include multi‑orbit packages tailored for low latency, resiliency, and high availability. • 5G/NTN and IoT: Demonstrations and early services that integrate satellites into 5G Non‑Terrestrial Networks and support machine‑to‑machine/IoT connectivity in remote regions. Networks and Fleet • GEO: A portfolio of more than thirty GEO satellites supports broadcast and broadband capacity worldwide, including recent additions such as EUTELSAT 36D (launched March 2024) and very‑high‑throughput platforms. • LEO: A first‑generation Ku‑band constellation of more than six hundred satellites provides global, low‑latency connectivity. Gateways and user terminals are supplied through telecom and enterprise partners to deliver services to fixed and mobility users. • Multi‑orbit operations: Services combine GEO coverage and LEO latency to meet service‑level and resiliency requirements, with traffic dynamically routed between orbits when needed. Programs and Partnerships (selected) • National programs and sovereign connectivity for European and international customers, including backhaul and government services. • 5G Non‑Terrestrial Network trials performed using the LEO constellation with industry partners to validate direct‑to‑device and 5G integration scenarios. • Regional partnerships with operators and service providers—for example, multi‑year agreements that expand LEO broadband access in remote markets such as Greenland—alongside long‑term GEO video distribution contracts with broadcasters. • Participation in European secure‑connectivity initiatives and industry frameworks intended to enhance resilience and strategic autonomy. Industrial Footprint Eutelsat Group’s operational hubs span satellite control, ground networks, teleport infrastructure, and gateway installations worldwide. Manufacturing of new GEO satellites is sourced from European primes, while LEO spacecraft production is executed through established supply chains tied to the constellation program. Launch services are procured from multiple providers.
