Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) and OneWeb, the
low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications company, today
announced a global, multi-year Distribution Partnership Agreement
(DPA) for OneWeb capacity. The agreement paves the way for Eutelsat
to commercialise OneWeb services across key verticals including
Maritime, Aviation, Enterprise, Telcos and Government.
The partnership reflects the deepening cooperation between the
two companies after Eutelsat became OneWeb’s second-largest
shareholder last December, and it showcases the synergies between
them, delivering Eutelsat's extensive commercial reach to OneWeb
while complementing Eutelsat's fleet of geostationary satellites
with low Earth orbit assets. It paves the way for the companies to
work together on developing combined GEO/LEO connectivity
solutions.
Eutelsat Chief Executive Officer Eva Berneke said: "As a
shareholder in OneWeb, we are excited to play a role in the success
of this new constellation by incorporating OneWeb's connectivity
services into our portfolio of solutions. This deal showcases the
scope for synergies between our two companies and opens up the
potential of low orbit to complement our geostationary assets in
the fast-growing markets of aero and maritime mobility, fixed data
and government services, building on the development of 5G and
cloud technologies that will generate low latency
requirements.”
OneWeb Chief Executive Officer Neil Masterson said: "This
expanded partnership with Eutelsat offers us a significant
opportunity to combine our GEO and LEO connectivity solutions,
expanding our global capacity and further enhancing our commercial
service. Drawing on Eutelsat’s decades of experience in serving the
satellite industry, coupled with OneWeb’s substantial business
momentum, the agreement demonstrates our collaborative approach to
scaling up our LEO connectivity services. We are thrilled to see
our services come together to expand connectivity solutions to
communities.”
