Intelsat and SES will lose 5% of their FCC-clearing payment for each day they are late after the 2020-12-05 deadline, up to a reduction to zero over subsequent months.

Intelsat and SES are nearing a 2021-06-01 internal housekeeping milestone to vacate part of the C-band this December.

Telesat has not yet started full satellite construction and could be over 2 years later to market than competitors like OneWeb and O3b mPOWER.

OneWeb and O3b mPOWER are both targeting similar enterprise customers as Telesat.

Isotropic Systems raised $42,000,000 in a funding round led by SES in February, bringing total investment to about $70,000,000 to date.

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

SES is investing significant capital into its MEO constellation O3b mPOWER.

This is the 15th task order awarded to SES Government Solutions under the $516,700,000 MEO HTS Blanket Purchase Agreement.

SES Government Solutions designed, developed, and fielded an O3b Medium Earth Orbit reachback capability in close partnership with a U.S. Government customer to provide mission-critical communications for a combatant command.

Brigadier General Pete Hoene supports using reachback technology and the O3b MEO constellation to give deployed U.S. military personnel access to near real-time decision-making intelligence at the tactical edge.

The task order for the O3b MEO reachback capability is valued at $11,800,000 and is awarded against a single-award $516,700,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement for MEO low-latency High Throughput Satellite services.

The O3b MEO reachback capability provides fiber-like connectivity to austere deployed locations.

Intelsat and SES indicated they are on track to secure more than $2,000,000,000 combined from meeting a C-band clearing deadline in December.

O3b satellites operated by SES in medium Earth orbit support Microsoft's Azure Space initiative.

The team led by Tim Deaver at SES Government Services won U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center Pathfinder 1 and Pathfinder 3 contracts.

SES became the first satellite operator in 2019 to implement ONAP with network functions virtualization technology on Azure cloud services.

Tim Deaver worked for SES and SES Government Solutions for more than 10 years leading business and product development activities.
