SES’s AWS Direct Connect partner status provides customers on SES’s satellite network a dedicated connection to AWS at speeds from 50 megabits per second up to 100 gigabits per second.

Intelsat and SES hold the largest share of the 500 MHz C-band in the U.S. and will receive $4,900,000,000 and $3.97 billion, respectively, under the FCC’s plan.

Intelsat and SES stand to receive more than $2,000,000,000 combined from the FCC if they provide a 120 MHz swath of C-band frequencies to wireless operators by 2021-12-05.

SES’s Cloud Direct service will be available on the O3b mPOWER next-generation MEO constellation launching later 2021.

SES alleges Intelsat wrongfully seeks to keep a $421,000,000 portion of the C-band proceeds from SES.

SES filed on 2021-06-16 that it had already submitted enough evidence for a ruling in its favor over Intelsat’s withdrawal from the C-Band Alliance.

Intelsat and SES would receive additional billions from the FCC if they fully vacate the lower 300 MHz slice of C-band by 2023-12-05, by moving customers to the upper 200 MHz of the band.

A two-week trial in which SES seeks $1,800,000,000 in total damages is scheduled to start on 2021-09-20.

Intelsat and SES hit an internal milestone on 2021-06-01 for clearing a portion of C-band, positioning them to install filters in time to meet the FCC deadline of 2021-12-05.

SES will use its Cloud Direct service to connect its customers to AWS data centers over its network of medium Earth orbit (MEO) and geostationary (GEO) satellites.

Isotropic Systems’ production launch in 2022 is intended to support SES’ O3b mPOWER high-throughput MEO constellation coming online.

Phase two trials will test Isotropic Systems’ latest antenna prototype over links with SES satellites in GEO and MEO to demonstrate seamless satellite-to-satellite transitions and increased redundancy and resilience for wartime communications.

SES met its self-imposed 2021-06-01 deadline to move customers from the lower 120 MHz of C-band.

Intelsat and SES will receive more than $2,000,000,000 from the Federal Communications Commission if they hand over the lower 120 MHz swath of C-band by 2020-12-05.

Intelsat and SES will receive additional billions from the Federal Communications Commission if they fully vacate the lower 300 MHz slice of C-band auctioned by the FCC by 2023-12-05, by moving customers to the upper 200 MHz of the band.

Peter Hoene is the President and CEO of SES Government Solutions.

Isotropic Systems raised over $40,000,000 in a recent funding round from investors including SES, Orbital Ventures, the UK government’s Future Fund, Boeing HorizonX Global Ventures, Space Angels, and Firmament Ventures.

Intelsat and SES are eligible for more than $2,000,000,000 from the Federal Communications Commission if they clear 120 MHz of C-band by the FCC’s 2020-12-05 deadline.
