Your Customers, Your Service, Leveraging Our Space Infrastructure to Extend Connectivity Virtually Anywhere: Elveo Mobile from SES

Enable service direct to the billions of phones and devices that people already use.

Elveo Mobile from SES provides MNOs with a new way to extend mobile coverage beyond terrestrial infrastructure, to complement existing networks, and enable the next stage of terrestrial and non-terrestrial network integration.

Why It Matters

Coverage gaps remain as users move across ultra-rural areas, maritime zones, transport routes, and regions where regular cell service has been disrupted. Some areas are too remote, too difficult, or too expensive to serve with towers alone. Elveo Mobile from SES creates a new path for extending cellular access, leveraging multi-orbit satellite infrastructure to connect regular consumer devices directly to your core network.

How It Helps

Your service, your brand, direct-to-device functionality

Extend your cellular services to users in locations where terrestrial cell sites are unavailable or impractical to deploy.
