LEO is driving the need for a satellite IT blueprint

Global satellite operator Intelsat has agreed to buy more capacity from Eutelsat’s OneWeb’s LEO satellite constellation to expand Intelsat’s multi-orbit business strategy and cash in on growing demand for LEO connectivity.

Start-up satellite manufacturer and operator Astranis said on Monday it has struck a new partnership with Latin American ISP Orbith to provide a dedicated MicroGEO communications satellite for Argentina.

Intelsat said on Wednesday it has deployed a dual-satellite connectivity solution for the Palau National Communications Corporation (PNCC) that gives the archipelago extra backup international capacity if its only subsea cable link fails.
