On 27 October 2022, SES signed a multiyear capacity renewal with Claro Brasil through Embratel to enable enhanced 0.004 kg/0.005 kg-ready services via SES’s O3b mPOWER network in at least eight of the 23 cities Claro Brasil serves in the Amazon region.
Embratel grew its demand for SES capacity from an initial 250 Mbps serving four towns to 5.5 Gbps of GEO and MEO bandwidth supporting 23 cities.
SES signed a multiyear capacity renewal with Claro Brasil through Embratel to enable delivery of enhanced 0.004 kg/0.005 kg-ready services via its O3b mPOWER network in at least eight of 23 cities Claro Brasil serves via SES’s multi-orbit satellite network across the region.
Embratel could leverage 4 Gbps over SES’s O3b mPOWER network under the renewal agreement to extend high-powered mobile backhaul service to more than 260,000 inhabitants of eight cities in the Amazon region.

Arianespace has launched Embratel’s entire fleet of 12 satellites since 1985.
Arianespace has a relationship with Embratel that dates back to 1985 when Arianespace performed its first mission for Embratel.
The FCC estimates moving costs for Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat, Telesat, and Embratel Star One will be $3,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000 to cover upgrading ground systems and building and launching replacement satellites.
The FCC’s accelerated clearing program requires SES, Intelsat, Eutelsat, Telesat, and Embratel Star One to clear the first 120 megahertz of C-band by 2021-12-05.
The FCC voted on 2020-02-28 to proceed with an auction plan that covers spectrum relocation costs for Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat, Telesat, and Embratel Star One.
Embratel Star One’s accelerated clearing payment amount increased by $1,400,000 to a maximum of $15,100,000 under the FCC’s final plan.
The FCC reduced SES’s and Telesat’s accelerated clearing payment amounts to provide modest increases to Paris-based Eutelsat Communications and Brazilian operator Embratel Star One.
Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat, Telesat, and Embratel Star One are collectively eligible to win up to $9,700,000,000 in accelerated payments if they clear 300 megahertz of C-band spectrum by 2023-12-05.
If the FCC maintains its original allocations, 50% of the incentive payments would go to Intelsat and 41% would go to SES, with the remaining 9% allocated to Eutelsat, Telesat, and Embratel Star One.
Eutelsat proposed reducing SES’s share to 22.1% ($2,150,000,000), Telesat’s share to 0.12% ($11,200,000), and Embratel Star One’s share to 0.03% ($2,700,000).
Only one of the four regional satellite operators authorized to provide C-band services in the United States, Embratel Star One of Brazil, is eligible to receive incentive payments under the FCC spectrum clearing plan.
ABS, Hispasat, and Embratel Star One each spent close to $250,000,000 building and launching satellites designed at least in part to serve the U.S. market, according to testimony at the hearing.
