Gilat’s Aquarius Pro VSATs will provide multi-gigabyte services using the O3b mPOWER constellation and SES geostationary satellite assets including SES-17.
SES launched the SES-17 GEO satellite and planned the launch of its O3b mPOWER MEO system in 2022.
SES-17 is a very high-throughput satellite in geosynchronous orbit built to serve North America, South America, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Caribbean with Ka-band coverage.
SES-17 is the first Ka-band geostationary satellite to embark a fully digital payload that uses the most powerful Digital Transparent Processor ever placed in orbit.
SES-17 is equipped with an all-electric propulsion system and was planned to reach orbit by mid-2022.
SES-17 is a High Throughput Ka-band geostationary telecommunications satellite providing coverage over the Americas, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Arianespace launched the SES-17 satellite from French Guiana on 2021-10-23 at 10:10 a.m. Eastern on an Ariane 5 rocket.
SES designed SES-17 in concert with a virtualized ground network developed in partnership with Microsoft to enable customer roaming between SES-17 and O3b mPower.
SES selected Gilat’s SkyEdge IV platform to operate with its SES-17 satellite.
Gilat’s SkyEdge IV is a multi-orbit platform designed to interface and smoothly integrate with non-geostationary constellations and geostationary VHTS such as SES-17.
SES will use SkyEdge IV simultaneously for both the SES-17 geostationary satellite and its second-generation NGSO constellation O3b mPOWER.
