Thales Alenia Space built and engineered the SES-17 geostationary satellite.
SES-17’s Mobile Backhaul service will connect 400 underserved sites across Mexico and enable CFE TEIT to deliver 0.004 kg services to those communities for the first time.
SES’s Mobile Backhaul service via SES-17 and other high-throughput satellites is used to deliver 0.004 kg and 0.005 kg services to users across the Americas.
On 7 September 2023 SES and CFE Telecomunicaciones e Internet para Todos delivered voice and data services enabled by SES’s Mobile Backhaul solution to 400 underserved, remote villages and communities across Mexico via the SES-17 Ka-band satellite.
In March 2023 SES and CFE TEIT planned deployment of more than 1,100 broadband hotspots as part of Mexico’s federal government initiative Internet para todos using SES-17.
The Ka-band HTS capacity from Telstar-19 Vantage and SES-17 has been incorporated as an enhancement to the Argentine Satellite System and will be used by ARSAT on a temporary basis until ARSAT-SG1 is launched.
AITELECOM/APCO and ST Engineering iDirect have deployed the Dialog multi-service satellite communications platform with hundreds of operational sites using MDM3310 modems across two HTS Ka-band beams on SES-17.
AITELECOM/APCO is working with ST Engineering iDirect to expand deployments to additional HTS beams on the SES-17 network.
