Telecommunications and navigation satellites

Tailored solutions for different applications

Seamless, high-speed communications and internet services around the globe would not be possible without telecommunications satellites.

The growing demand for connectivity, fast, reliable and secure communications, added to increasing use of data have made telecommunications satellites a critical asset. We help people connect with our Geostationary satellites such as Eurostar Neo and OneSat, and our Low Earth Orbit constellation Oneweb.

Navigation satellites are equally essential, guiding us safely and accurately around the globe. Our navigation systems have helped revolutionise the way we live (satnav, delivery services, location-based applications).

Galileo, Europe's Global Navigation Satellite System, enables us to calculate our position and time on Earth with pinpoint accuracy. It opens up opportunities for a wide range of services such as critical emergency response, time-stamped financial transactions, and precision agriculture.

The EGNOS system improves the accuracy of Galileo and GPS systems, increasing navigation performance and safety during critical phases such as aircraft landing.
