Leveraging SES-17coverage over Mexico, SES won a connectivity tender to provide 4G voice and data services for the first time to 400 remote communities across the country.
The services will be split roughly evenly between the recently launched SES-17 high throughput satellite stationed over the Americas and the next-generation O3b mPOWER system.
The multi-million-dollar orders will support SESs O3b mPOWER constellation and SES-17, a Ka-band satellite which recently entered service.
Under the terms of the multi-year agreement, ARSAT will provide broadband satellite services starting in mid-2022.
The all-electric propulsion satellite has reached orbit per schedule after months of in-orbit raising and successful in-orbit testing.
Built by Thales Alenia Space, SES-15 will deliver high-speed connectivity services across aviation, maritime, enterprise and government segments.
