SES inaugurates new SOC in Princeton, New Jersey

To ensure continued success and security of our customers and promote operational excellence, SES proudly inaugurated its new Spacecraft Operations Centre (SOC) in Princeton last week.

The Princeton SOC will be providing 24/7 monitoring and management of 23 of our satellites, as they deliver services ranging from high quality broadcast television channels to high-speed broadband to millions of people on land, in the air, and at sea throughout North America and around the world.

“With a constant eye on operational excellence, resiliency and customer success and security, SES has positioned its three primary satellite operations centers in widely diverse
regions of the world,” noted Martin Halliwell, Chief Technology Officer for SES. “Our new Princeton-based SOC features the latest control technologies and capabilities that will
allow SES to meet ever-evolving customer demands and an ever-changing satellite fleet for decades to come,” Halliwell said. “Whether it’s electric propulsion satellites or an expanding fleet of more than 100 satellites, SES has the expertise and the advanced satellite control stations to deliver on the future.”
