  • In February 2025, Eutelsat, in collaboration with Airbus and MediaTek, successfully conducted the world's first 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) trial using OneWeb's low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. This success is a major milestone toward combining satellite technology with ground-based 5G networks, boosting connectivity worldwide, particularly in rural locations.
  • In April 2025, Luxembourg-based SES announced its acquisition of Intelsat for $3.1 billion, aiming to create a leading multi-orbit satellite operator. The transaction, due to close during the second half of 2025, will merge SES's large satellite fleet with Intelsat's strengths, strengthening service provision in video broadcasting, broadband, and government communications.
  • In February 2025, Eutelsat received approval from the European Union to design, build, and operate the IRIS² satellite constellation, set to enter service by 2030. This €10.6 billion initiative, in which Eutelsat is to invest about €2 billion, seeks to offer improved connectivity throughout Europe, utilizing both LEO and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites.
