With access to the right satellite infrastructure and dedicated ground infrastructure through SES, we are strengthening our ability to address government, MNO, and automotive D2D use-cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Adel Al-Saleh<\/strong><strong>, CEO of SES<\/strong>, said, \u201cWe recognise D2D as an exciting growth opportunity that complements our multi-orbit network to address a broader set of use cases. This partnership gives SES\u2019s exposure into the D2D segment and is a key part of our strategy to diversify into this nascent, high-growth segment. SES\u2019s multi-orbit network, particularly our MEO and ground infrastructure, will enhance the resilience, global reach, and innovation of Lynk&#8217;s D2D network. Lynk Global will be the first D2D provider to benefit from our MEO-Relay service working in orchestration with our global ground-based infrastructure network. SES and Lynk will collaborate to expand Lynk&#8217;s manufacturing into Europe, creating opportunities to incorporate Lynk&#8217;s D2D capabilities into European programs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SES and Lynk Global have announced a strategic partnership to address the high-growth direct-to-device (D2D) segment.
