The two companies announced the deal Dec. 1. The new Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellite will expand Eutelsat\u2019s in-orbit assets providing more than 100 Gbps of incremental capacity over the Americas to support what Eutelsat sees as a surging connectivity market.<\/p>\n<p>The satellite, based on Thales\u2019 pace Inspire product line, will offer a high level of flexibility in terms of coverage, bandwidth allocation, and power levels, aims to serve Eutelsat\u2019s B2B customers for its Advance backhauling, enterprise, government, aero, and maritime solutions. It will also be able to accommodate joint GEO-LEO (Low-Earth Orbit) services.<\/p>\n<p>The Flexsat is expected to be delivered in 2026. The capital expenditure associated with the program is included in Eutelsat\u2019s standalone capital expenditure and adjusted discretionary free cash flow estimates for fiscal year 2022-23 and fiscal year 2023-24. It is also included in the financial trajectory of the proposed combination of Eutelsat and OneWeb.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe uniqueness of a Flexsat makes it particularly convenient to optimise capacity and reconfigure services during the satellite\u2019s lifetime, depending on applications and coverage areas. This new satellite will further underpin Eutelsat\u2019s growth strategy aimed at addressing the booming connectivity segment and it is also able to support joint GEO-LEO services.
