Claiming that the three-month period had seen it achieve all of its financial objectives, leading satellite operator Eutlesat has posted a mixed set of results in which it has seen video continue its downward orbital trajectory, albeit at a slower pace, but continued growth in broadband and mobile connectivity services.
Over the last couple of years, Sky has given indications of accelerating, if not pivoting, towards fixed broadband distribution in the UK and the Republic of Ireland but in a massive boost for the satellite operator, the leading pay-TV provider has extended its multiple transponder contracts with SES.
As its satellites continue to deliver content to millions of users simultaneously, SES has joined forces with researchers at the University of Luxembourg’s Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) in a project designed to optimise effectively satellite performance and allocate spectrum.
In the latest of a series of deals with regional connectivity firms, Spanish satellite services and solutions operator Hispasat has returned to further serve the Latin American video market, extending its direct-to-home (DTH) managed service contract with Chilean telco Entel.
Video and connectivity operator SES is claiming that the latest version of its Satellite Monitor Annual Research Shows has underscored the firm’s position as the leader in enabling content delivery via satellite directly and indirectly, delivering almost 8,400 TV channels, including 3,130 in HD or Ultra HD.
Employing what it says will be a innovative, flexible, software-defined craft to deliver content to at the crossroads of three continents, satellite provider SES has ordered SES-26 a fully software-defined geostationary (GEO) satellite from Thales Alenia Space.
Featuring new uplink services designed to ensure optimal viewing experiences for audiences across Europe, satellite operator SES and CANAL+ have expanded their partnership with a long-term agreement for uplink services for the French pay-TV channel bouquet at 19.2 degrees East.
The last two or three years have seen traditional satellite providers’ video business bleed as data takes a higher orbit but for SES, 2021 has seen the company’s spiralling video losses slow considerably in a steady fiscal year.
