Eutelsat Partners with Voimatel to Provide LEO Services in Finland

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Finnish communications network operator Voimatel will integrate Eutelsat's Low Earth Orbit (LEO) connectivity services to support critical network infrastructure by combining satellite and terrestrial connectivity. This initiative aims to provide resilient and redundant communications for enterprise and public sector customers in urban, rural, and remote areas.

Voimatel designs and operates fixed and wireless communication networks for telecom operators, utility companies, and public sector organizations in Finland. By accessing Eutelsat's OneWeb LEO service, the company aims to extend connectivity to high northern latitudes, including the Arctic region where terrestrial coverage may be limited.

Eva Bisgaard, President of Eutelsat's Connectivity Business Unit, stated that the partnership reflects the growing role of LEO connectivity in supporting critical telecommunications infrastructure. By combining satellite and terrestrial networks, operators can enhance the resilience and coverage of communication services, particularly in the Arctic region where reliable connectivity is crucial.

Mikko Heinonen, CEO of Voimatel, added that adding Eutelsat's LEO services strengthens the company's ability to support telecom and data network customers in Finland. Its low-latency satellite connectivity and Arctic coverage will complement Voimatel's existing infrastructure capabilities and meet customers' evolving connectivity needs.

Last week, Eutelsat partnered with Tototheo Global to provide LEO connectivity to maritime customers worldwide. In addition to satellite communications, the agreement involves providing connectivity services to enterprises in Greece and Cyprus, as well as civil and military government entities.

Last year, Eutelsat also signed an agreement with the French military valued at up to 1 billion euros. The agreement supports the NEXUS (Neo-Espace pour de multiples Usages Sécurisés) project initiated by the French Ministry of Defense, aiming to strengthen current French military space communications capabilities by combining military and civilian resources. Described as the first concrete step of the project, the French Defense Procurement Agency (DGA) signed a 10-year framework agreement with Eutelsat, including provisions for priority access to space resources, specifically capacity on Eutelsat's OneWeb LEO constellation.
