The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) awarded a five-year, US$270 million contract to SES Space & Defense for Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) low-latency, high-throughput satellite (HTS) services.
The Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) includes end-to-end MEO managed services with HTS capacity, broadband services, gateway services, monitoring and control services, satellite terminal leasing and sales, field service representative (FSR) support, training services and terrestrial backhaul.
“SES Space & Defense is excited to receive this award, and we look forward to further supporting DoD users with SES’s MEO HTS capabilities,” said David Fields, SES Space & Defense President and CEO. “The new BPA signifies the DoD’s continued interest in MEO as a cornerstone commercial satellite communications capability.”
