Eutelsat

Eutelsat announced a multi-year extension of its cooperation with StarTV (Grupo W Com), under which StarTV will use additional capacity on the EUTELSAT 117 West B satellite to offer direct-to-home TV, educational content and near-video-on-demand via IP across Mexico. The agreement secures the 117° West orbital position for video transmissions in Mexico and Latin America and is intended to improve access to content in remote areas and reduce customer churn. Eutelsat highlights the advancement of satellite technology; StarTV emphasizes low-cost pay-TV offerings and the expansion of its portfolio. » Más en de.investing.com

Eutelsat has ordered 229 additional OneWeb satellites from Airbus; the investment is estimated at around one billion euros and complements the 440 satellites previously ordered. Delivery of the earlier-ordered satellites is expected to begin next quarter, while the new satellites are intended to renew and expand OneWeb’s constellation through 2034. Eutelsat highlights improved on‑board processing and the option for hosted payloads, has also booked two Ariane launches for 2027 and 2028, and is aiming to grow as a European alternative to Starlink. » Más en heise.de

The bank warns of rising debt that could reach four times EBITDA and considers the revenue target through 2029 hard to achieve. Berenberg currently prefers rival SES and would only be more positive if execution becomes clear. » Más en de.investing.com
