It’s almost here! SES-17 is a very-high-throughput all-electric geostationary satellite, and is all set for launch in just a matter of months.Designed and manufactured by Thales Alenia Space, the satellite will operate in conjunction with SES's other Medium Earth Orbit and geostationary satellites.

For many countries around the world, mineral exploration and production is the key to economic growth. However, fully capitalising on natural resources can be challenging as the sites are usually at highly dispersed and remote locations, have limited and unreliable connectivity at mining sites which results in the crew having to use siloed IT and OT systems and processes.

As SES has worked to make its GEO and MEO multi-orbit platform more open and integrated with terrestrial networks, it is opening up new options for mobile operators who are unaware of how satellite could seamlessly extend the reach of their networks. To showcase some of these new 5G possibilities, SES recently completed multiple field tests and technical demonstrations with a major mobile operator and cloud provider in the U.S..

In 2020, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) asked for satellite operators such as SES to clear C-band spectrum to enable the nationwide rollout of 5G mobile services. Since then, SES has been busy transitioning their existing customers to a smaller portion of the spectrum without disrupting TV and radio services, as well as other critical data transmission services they deliver. We spoke with Stanley Russo, Director of Implementation Engineering, who is tasked with leading the transition of SES’s managed services, to learn more about this undertaking.
