Community Network Extension

Leverage High-speed Satellite Gateways to Connect Communities and Remote Regions

Extend high-performance connectivity to communities, islands, land-locked countries, and hard-to-serve regions where terrestrial infrastructure is limited, delayed, or difficult to deploy.

SES Community Network Extension solutions and ongoing support help service providers extend connectivity and public services, regardless of local terrestrial network availability.

Why It Matters

Being connected is part of daily life for every community for economic participation, education, healthcare, banking, entertainment, and access to public services. Just because many island, remote, and land-locked regions remain difficult to serve with terrestrial infrastructure doesn’t mean they need to be left out. SES solutions help organizations extend high-speed connectivity beyond terrestrial footprints and supports broadband access where it can deliver the most impact.
