GEO

Geostationary Orbit: Reach that Never Breaks Focus

GEO is the steady hand in space: a satellite that stays over the same region, delivering continuous coverage day and night. Perfect when you can’t afford gaps, and even better when it’s part of a network that thinks and flexes in real time.

Reach that scales. GEO covers huge regions with consistent service - ideal for broadcast, backhaul, and mission critical connectivity at a global scale. With GEO high throughput spot beams, we can push serious bandwidth exactly where you need it.

Multi-orbit by design. SES pairs GEO + MEO in one integrated architecture for resiliency and application aware load balancing - delivering better uptime, better economics, and better user experiences than single orbit approaches.

Software defined agility. Our newest GEO platforms (e.g., SES 17) use fully digital payloads with Adaptive Resource Control (ARC) to dynamically reassign power, frequency, and beams - and to orchestrate resources across GEO and MEO in real time.

Global footprint, local impact. SES’s multi-orbit fleet and ground network reach 99% of the world’s population, so coverage and support scale with you as you grow. 

Software Defined GEO: Your Capacity, Where and When You Need It

Traditional wide beam GEO satellites are powerful but fixed. Our fleet of next generation, software defined GEO enables customers to:

  • Shift capacity on demand to follow traffic spikes, events, or new routes.
  • Repoint/re shape beams to support evolving footprints and SLAs.
  • Tune performance by application - from MNO backhaul to cloud access to mobility.
  • Orchestrate across orbits (GEO + MEO + LEO) with ARC for smart load sharing and failover.
