The deployment uses a high-availability, multi-orbit architecture that combines Eutelsat OneWeb’s LEO constellation with existing geostationary (GEO) and LEO networks.
Sidewinder compatibility with GEO and OneWeb LEO allows operators to leverage multi-orbit inflight connectivity architectures and optimize service levels on different routes.
The Sidewinder terminal is compatible with traditional geostationary satellites and the OneWeb low Earth orbit constellation.
OneWeb is expanding its constellation beyond its initial deployment.
Eutelsat’s strategic growth trajectory includes expanding its OneWeb constellation after signing a contract with Airbus Defence and Space for 340 additional OneWeb satellites.
The 2025 capital increase was led by the French government, which committed to acting as an anchor customer for Eutelsat’s OneWeb services.
Eutelsat signed a contract with Airbus Defence and Space for 340 additional OneWeb satellites.
Goldman Sachs downgraded Eutelsat from Neutral to Sell in February 2025, referencing competitive pressures, a $3.47 billion debt load, and execution risks related to OneWeb and Eutelsat’s involvement in the SpaceRISE consortium for the European Union’s IRIS2 constellation.
OneWeb has 643 operational satellites.
OneWeb completed its 648-satellite first-generation constellation by 2023 on schedule.
Immfly is leveraging Eutelsat’s OneWeb Low Earth Orbit constellation through Gogo hardware and network infrastructure for its new connectivity service.
Immfly’s new satcom service will equip formerly disconnected commercial aircraft with Gogo’s electronically steered antenna and Eutelsat’s OneWeb connectivity services.
Eutelsat’s OneWeb constellation provides high-speed, low-latency connectivity to fleets long underserved by in-flight broadband.
Gogo’s hardware functions as the conduit connecting Immfly hardware with the OneWeb constellation and supports connectivity needs of high-density narrowbody aircraft as well as business aviation and milgov customers.
Including a previous order of 100 satellites from December 2024, Eutelsat’s total OneWeb satellite orders under contract with Airbus are up to 440 satellites.
Eutelsat awarded Airbus a contract to build an additional 340 OneWeb low Earth orbit satellites.
The new OneWeb satellites for Eutelsat will integrate advanced digital channelizers to enable enhanced onboard processing capabilities and greater efficiency and flexibility.
Airbus Defense and Space will manufacture the additional OneWeb satellites at its Toulouse facility on a newly installed production line with delivery beginning at the end of 2026.
OneWeb provides high-speed Low-Earth Orbit connectivity for the Eutelsat, Gogo, and Immfly in-flight connectivity offering.
Jimmy von Korff supports using Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO connectivity and Gogo ESA hardware to bring narrowbody aircraft into the digital era, enable ancillary revenue growth, streamline operations, and provide passengers with connectivity comparable to their ground experiences.
