Paris, 30 April 2026 – Eutelsat (ISIN: FR0010221234 – Euronext Paris / London Stock Exchange: ETL, the “Group”) and longstanding partner, India’s Station Satcom, a leader in maritime connectivity, have signed an expanded multi-year, multi-million dollar agreement to scale the deployment of Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO connectivity services across Station Satcom’s global maritime fleet.
The agreement builds on the successful activation of hundreds of vessels on the OneWeb network in 2025. Station Satcom will now significantly expand the number of vessels equipped with Eutelsat’s LEO services, with over 1,000 vessels in the current deployment pipeline.
Station Satcom has been a longstanding Eutelsat partner, delivering both GEO and LEO satellite services to provide hybrid connectivity solutions to ship owners and operators worldwide. By expanding its use of OneWeb's LEO services, it will be able to offer its customers high-speed, low-latency broadband across major shipping routes and remote offshore environments — supporting real-time data applications, operational efficiency, and crew welfare for a growing global fleet.
Anshul Khanna, Chief Executive Officer of Station Satcom added, “The performance and reliability of OneWeb LEO services have delivered clear benefits to our customers, from improved operational efficiency to enhanced crew connectivity. This expanded agreement enables us to accelerate deployment across our fleet and meet the growing demand for advanced digital services at sea."
Thierry Polycarpe, VP Global Mobile Connectivity at Eutelsat said, “Station Satcom has been a valued partner for many years, and the results they have achieved since launching our OneWeb's LEO service demonstrate the real difference high-speed, low latency connectivity makes at sea. This expanded agreement reflects the growing momentum for LEO in maritime and our shared commitment to bringing that capability to more vessels around the world."
