Company Overview: Eutelsat Group (formed through the merger of Eutelsat Communications and OneWeb in 2023) is a global satellite operator headquartered in Paris, France, that combines Eutelsat’s long-standing geostationary (GEO) satellite fleet with OneWeb’s rapidly expanding low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation. This GEO + LEO integration positions the company as a hybrid, multi-orbit provider capable of offering both wide-area broadcast services and low-latency broadband connectivity. Eutelsat has decades of experience in broadcasting, video distribution, and data connectivity for governments, enterprises, and telecom operators, while OneWeb brings a network of over 600 LEO satellites designed to deliver high-speed, low-latency internet access to underserved regions, mobility markets, and enterprise customers. Together, the merged entity aims to serve global broadband, government, aviation, maritime, and enterprise markets, competing directly with players like SpaceX’s Starlink, Amazon’s Project Kuiper, SES, and Viasat. With its combined infrastructure and spectrum assets, Eutelsat Group is positioning itself as a key global competitor in the rapidly evolving satellite communications industry.
