\"SES<\/p>\n

Following a 2024 contract award from the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), SES started providing Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) Global Services to Luxembourg and U.S. governments via its O3b mPOWER constellation.<\/p>\n

Known as MEO Global Services (MGS), the contract awarded within NSPA\u2019s Global Commercially Contracted SATCOM Support Partnership (GCC SATCOM SP) initiated by the US and Luxembourg, allows NATO Members and NATO Partners participating in the agreement to build sovereign networks, or utilize fully-managed low-latency, high-performance satellite communications service.<\/p>\n

SES\u2019s MEO connectivity is enabling government organizations, agencies, and militaries at global missions on land, at sea, and in the air to run real-time applications like HD video calls and uninterrupted simultaneous downloads of other data-intensive applications in the background reliably. In the framework of MGS, the United States plan to install six MEO Sovereign Gateways in various locations across the globe, to ensure secure and resilient connectivity globally. Furthermore, in January 2025, The Netherlands officially joined the GCC SATCOM SP, underscoring growing multinational collaboration.<\/p>\n

Yuriko Backes<\/strong>, Luxembourg\u2019s Minister of Defence<\/strong>: \u201cEnhancing secure and resilient satellite communications for defense and allied operations remains a priority for Luxembourg. Through MGS and the framework of the GCC SATCOM Support Partnership, we are leveraging SES\u2019s state-of-the-art <\/em>O3b mPOWER constellation<\/em> to ensure high-performance satellite communication to support national requirements and put them to the benefit of NATO nations and our partners. We welcome our Ally the Netherlands joining this collaborative space endeavor.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe progress of the <\/em>GCC SATCOM<\/em> Support Partnership highlights the power of multinational cooperation in the space domain. By working together, participating nations gain access to secure, advanced satellite communications that enhance interoperability and operational flexibility. The addition of the Netherlands underscores the growing value of this partnership in strengthening NATO\u2019s space capabilities,\u201d<\/em> said Stacy Cummings<\/strong>, NSPA General Manager<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

U.S. Space Force Brig. Gen. Jacob Middleton, Commander of U.S. Space Forces Europe and Space Forces Africa<\/strong>: \u201cIntegrating directly with Allies and partners through joint endeavors, such as the GCC SATCOM Support Partnership, builds trust, facilitates information sharing, and fosters a deeper understanding of common strengths and challenges. Increasing space capabilities through multinational cooperation is important to the region\u2019s deterrence and defense.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Colonel Bernard Buijs, Head of Defence Space Security Centre, The Netherlands<\/strong>: \u201cThe best way to prevent a conflict is to keep communicating! To make this happen, the Netherlands firmly believes in the value of international cooperation, and through initiatives like the GCC SATCOM SP by NSPA, nations can come together to share expertise, leverage resources, and acquire unique capabilities that might be out of reach individually.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

SES\u2019s CEO <\/strong>Adel Al-Saleh<\/strong>: \u201cLow latency, guaranteed service level agreements, flexibility and security of communications underscore <\/em>O3b mPOWER<\/em>\u2019s advantages as the capability of choice when it comes to serving the NATO nations. We are delighted to start delivering connectivity to the MGS founding countries, as well as to welcome new countries under the NSPA agreements.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
