Maxar Technologies and SiriusXM have announced a new agreement commissioning Maxar to build and deliver two new geostationary communications satellites for SiriusXM. The SXM-11 and -12 satellite orders increase the total number of spacecraft in development for SiriusXM by Maxar to four, following the 2021 agreement for the construction of SXM-9 and -10.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis investment reaffirms our commitment to satellite content delivery systems and cutting-edge technology,\u201d said Bridget Neville, SiriusXM\u2019s Senior Vice President of Satellite and Terrestrial Engineering and Operations. \u201cSXM-11 and -12, along with SXM-9 and -10, will allow us to innovate and improve our service offerings for subscribers and will extend the continuous and reliable delivery of our audio entertainment content.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis agreement, in combination with SXM-9 and -10 ordered last year, shows one of Maxar\u2019s greatest strengths\u2014the advantage of performance at scale,\u201d said Chris Johnson, Maxar\u2019s Senior Vice President of Space. \u201cThese satellites will provide more capability to SiriusXM\u2019s fleet, including an expanded service area and higher service quality. We continue to push for new ways to expand capability for commercial geostationary customers, keeping our leadership in this market secure and growing.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are more than 150 million SiriusXM-equipped vehicles on the road today that rely on SiriusXM\u2019s proprietary satellite network, which is also a key delivery mechanism for the company\u2019s 360L platform. SiriusXM with 360L combines satellite and streaming to ensure the best possible coverage across the U.S. and Canada and the best customer experience. SiriusXM also offers a suite of satellite-delivered Marine and Aviation services that provide pilots and boaters with important weather data and information directly to their cockpits.<\/p>\n
SXM-11 and -12 will be twin high-powered digital audio radio satellites, built on Maxar\u2019s proven 1300-class platform at the company\u2019s manufacturing facilities in Palo Alto and San Jose, California. Maxar has been building satellites for SiriusXM for more than two decades, including the first-generation Sirius satellites launched in 2000; the second-generation Sirius satellites launched in 2009 and 2013; and the company\u2019s current third-generation satellites, the first one of which started service in 2021. The delivery of SXM-11 and -12 will bring the number of Maxar-built spacecraft for SiriusXM to 13.<\/p>\n
