Eutelsat and
Station Satcom sign expanded multi-year
agreement to scale LEO services
30 April 2026
Eutelsat and
longstanding partner, India’s Station
Satcom, a leader in maritime connectivity,
have signed an expanded multi-year,
multi-million dollar agreement to scale the
deployment of Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO
connectivity services across Station
Satcom’s global maritime fleet.
The agreement builds on
the successful activation of hundreds of
vessels on the OneWeb network in 2025.
Station Satcom will now significantly expand
the number of vessels equipped with
Eutelsat’s LEO services, with over 1,000
vessels in the current deployment pipeline.
Station Satcom has been
a longstanding Eutelsat partner, delivering
both GEO and LEO satellite services to
provide hybrid connectivity solutions to
ship owners and operators worldwide. By
expanding its use of OneWeb's LEO services,
it will be able to offer its customers
high-speed, low-latency broadband across
major shipping routes and remote offshore
environments — supporting real-time data
applications, operational efficiency, and
crew welfare for a growing global fleet.
Anshul Khanna, Chief
Executive Officer of Station Satcom added,
“The performance and reliability of OneWeb
LEO services have delivered clear benefits
to our customers, from improved operational
efficiency to enhanced crew connectivity.
This expanded agreement enables us to
accelerate deployment across our fleet and
meet the growing demand for advanced digital
services at sea."
Thierry Polycarpe, VP
Global Mobile Connectivity at Eutelsat said,
“Station Satcom has been a valued partner
for many years, and the results they have
achieved since launching our OneWeb's LEO
service demonstrate the real difference
high-speed, low latency connectivity makes
at sea. This expanded agreement reflects the
growing momentum for LEO in maritime and our
shared commitment to bringing that
capability to more vessels around the
world."
