Join David Broadbent, president of government solutions at Intelsat, at the Potomac Officers Club’s 2025 Air and Space Summit to learn about the latest air and space initiatives and technological advancements.
Enhancing Connectivity Services
The Luxembourg-based SES said Thursday the acquisition expands its fleet to 120 satellites across two orbits — 90 in the geostationary Earth orbit and 30 in the medium Earth orbit. The move also strengthens its workforce with the addition of personnel experienced in multi-orbit, multi-band satellite and connectivity services.
The expanded satellite fleet, combined with access to low Earth orbit satellites and a ground network, enables the company to leverage complementary spectrum bands to boost connectivity and provide tailored services to government, aviation, maritime and media sectors.
