With 2023 almost behind us, it has been an exciting journey to witness the increasing dependency on space and cloud to bring network resiliency everywhere and accelerate 5G services to power digital transformation initiatives across satellite connected industries. 

SES's subsidiary in Germany, HD PLUS, has expanded its content service portfolio to audiences with a new video streaming offering. Designed for smartphones and tablets, HD+ Stream allows “on the go” users to enjoy 80+ HD channels and a wide variety of content on their mobile devices without a HD+ TV subscription.

In this episode of Satellite Stories, Karl Johan Jonsson from the Spectrum Management & Development team at SES talks us through the regulatory mechanisms like the 'EPFD limits' (equivalent power-flux density), that promote harmonious operations of the thousands of satellite systems out at space.

In this episode of Satellite Stories, Benoit Rougier and Samuel Blondeau from the Spectrum Management & Development team at SES discuss how operating satellites in higher orbits as data relay links can offer space stations, earth observation and small satellite systems in lower orbits an alternative path to download data to the ground, provi

This November, at the World Radiocommunication Conference in Dubai, the International Telecommunication Union will address several Agenda Items that will have a direct impact not only on SES’s ITU satellite filings and day-to-day operations, but also on its spectrum allocations and existing satellite service deployments at large.

In the final episode of our five-part series, our host Kristina Smith-Meyer meets Kiwis-turned-Cook-Islanders Sam and Raniera as they explain how big a role the internet plays in their daily lives; for work, for education, for pleasure and for sharing their passions which include outrigger canoeing!

In the fourth episode of our five-part series, we meet Julie Taripo. A journalist producing local documentaries which capture the stories of island life. Julie shows us how access to better connectivity has allowed her content to be viewed and shared across the world.

In the third of a five-part podcast series, our host Kristina Smith-Meyer visits the teachers and pupils at a school on the island of Atiu.

At the 2023 World Radiocommunication Conference in Dubai, UAE, the International Telecommunication Union will address several Agenda Items that will have a direct impact not only on SES’s ITU satellite filings and day-to-day operations, but also on its spectrum allocations and existing satellite service deployments at large.

In the second of five podcast episodes, we learnt about the impact O3b mPOWER’s rollout will have, and how engineers in the Cook Islands are preparing for its arrival on Atiu.

Over the last decade, Vodafone and SES have taken the Cook Islands from high-frequency radio to high-speed broadband using the SES MEO satellite network. The next phase in the partnership deploys the advanced satellite constellation O3b mPOWER to provide fast and reliable 4G+ connectivity to the remotest part of the archipelago.

Following the launch and IOT of the first two O3b mPOWER satellites, SES has been performing a series of system validation tests encompassing both space and ground components, including key Radio Frequency (RF) end-to-end testing.
