The combination of Eutelsat’s geostationary orbit (GEO) fleet with the low latency and ubiquity of OneWeb’s low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation aims to offer customers global, fully integrated connectivity services.
This combined GEO-LEO service will open up new markets and applications for customers, including Fixed Connectivity (Backhaul, Corporate networks), Government Services, and Mobile Connectivity (Maritime and Inflight). The group also plans to continue delivering innovative services for customers such as new IP native video services at the convergence of broadband and broadcast.
The combined entity is projected to grow at a double-digit revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the medium to long-term, reaching approximately €2 billion in 2027. Adjusted EBITDA for the combined entity is also expected to grow at a double-digit CAGR over the same period, outpacing revenue growth.

Eva Berneke, Chief Executive Officer, emphasized that Eutelsat Group is now uniquely positioned to offer a ubiquitous connectivity service.
