Eutelsat orders 340 more satellites from Airbus for OneWeb LEO constellation
Eutelsat Group, which now combines Eutelsat and OneWeb, has ordered 340 additional satellites from Airbus to expand the OneWeb low-earth-orbit broadband constellation. The deal extends the existing industrial partnership between the two companies, as OneWeb moves to increase network capacity and coverage.
The new order underlines Eutelsat Group’s push to build out its LEO infrastructure to support satellite-based connectivity services. Production will follow the established OneWeb satellite platform Airbus already manufactures, aiming for scale and lower unit costs.
