How Enhanced Connectivity is Fuelling Higher

Performance

The rapid expansion of Eutelsat OneWeb's
satellite network to deliver more robust,
far-reaching connectivity with higher speeds
and low latency is transforming the energy
industry where our partners and customers
operate. Better connectivity has paved the

way for new and enhanced digital tools and
applications: access to new levels of data is
fuelling new solutions across a vast range of
activities and requirements.

The combination of two satellite networks in September 2023
converted Eutelsat and OneWeb overnight into Eutelsat Group,
the world’s first GEO-LEO satellite network operator, whose hybrid
capabilities combine network density and high throughput (GEO)
with high-speed and low-latency connectivity everywhere (LEO).
For oil and gas industry leaders and the wider energy sector,
including on and offshore, we now deliver a portfolio of unique,
robust, mobile and fixed connectivity services to remote sites
and vessels where high-value complex work takes place, often in
potentially hazardous conditions. Offshore, these include drilling
rigs, production platforms, and wind turbines; or support vessels
used for intervention, diving, lifting, anchor handling, logistics,
and accommodation. Onshore, in regions that include the Middle
East and Mexico, we can deploy hybrid solutions to wherever
Hani El Arja limited bandwidth, lower speed, or higher latency together restrict
VP, MENA, Central Asia instrumentation and overall operational efficiency onsite.
Eutelsat OneWeb
This places Eutelsat OneWeb partners among the first to access
the benefits of both GEO and LEO network services in a more
connected world; and are able to harness this for their core
business activities, meet unique sets of new requirements, and
benefit crew safety, efficiency, and wellbeing.
