provide global reach and high-quality services
- Premium access/performance to Microsoft Azure services made
available to SES and Microsoft customers globally
The Carrier and Wholesale Services (C&WS) division of e&
(formerly known as Etisalat Group) today announced its partnership
with Microsoft and SES to host the co-located SES O3b mPOWER and
Microsoft ground station at Ras Al Khaimah. The first O3b mPOWER
ground station in the region will facilitate one-hop connectivity
to the cloud from remote sites so that customers can optimize their
global business operations smoothly. The partnership will also
enable companies - regardless of their location - to accelerate
their digitalization plans while unlocking more value for the
businesses.
This trio partnership will mean that e& network services can
be easily connected and extended via SES’s second-generation medium
earth orbit (MEO) constellation – O3b mPOWER – which aims to
deliver high-speed connectivity services from tens of megabits to
multiple gigabits per second to one site. The one-hop connectivity
to Azure Cloud and SES’s satellite network also enables simplicity,
flexibility but also minimizes any network latency delays. The
ground station at Ras Al Khaimah is one of the eight initial O3b
mPOWER gateway sites which will support both customer data services
and the TTC (Telemetry, Tracking and Control) control of the
satellite system.
“SES’s O3b mPOWER satellite services will enhance cloud-enabled
capability to meet critical industry connectivity needs with
greater resiliency and enable users in e&’s customer base to
benefit from enabling Cloud applications regardless of where they
are located," said William Chappell, Vice President of Azure
Global, Microsoft.
“This partnership is an important milestone in providing
customers with the ability to optimize business operations in a
flexible and agile manner while accessing connectivity to the cloud
from remote sites via satellites and leveraging e&’s global
network with space coverage. e& will capitalise on the success
of O3b mPOWER satellites to deliver fibre-like connectivity to meet
growing customer demands globally,” said Nabil Baccouche, Group
Chief Carrier & Wholesale Officer, e&. “Through this
partnership, our international customers will have access to
cloud-based services and platforms regardless of their
location.”
John-Paul Hemingway, Chief Strategy & Product Officer of
SES, said, “These are exciting times as the extended relationship
with e& will enable all three companies to take another step
towards delivering high-performance, low-latency networks virtually
anywhere. Regardless of their remote locations, customers worldwide
will be able to access and experience cloud-based applications
seamlessly. Our ground-breaking O3b mPOWER system will provide new
levels of cloud-scale satellite connectivity, intelligent
automation and managed services and support digitalization across a
wide range of sectors.”
About SES’s constellation
O3b mPOWER is SES’s second-generation medium earth orbit (MEO)
system and will operate in the medium earth orbit, around 8,000 km
above the earth’s surface. When fully operational in Q1 2023, O3b
mPOWER will deliver an unprecedented increase in flexibility,
throughput speed and capacity, enabling the delivery of multiple
gigabits-per-second of data services to customers in remote and
underserved regions across the Middle East, Central Asia regions
and beyond.
