Under a multi-year contract, the Luxembourg-based satellite operator SES will deliver secure and resilient high-performance connectivity for NATO member governments<\/strong><\/p>\n

The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) has awarded SES a contract to deliver secure high-performance low-latency satellite services via its medium earth orbit (MEO) constellation, enabling global missions for NATO member government organisations, agencies and military.
\nThe MEO Global Services (MGS) award represents a three-year Indefinite Delivery\/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at USD 200M, with two one-year options. This is the first award under the Global Commercially Contracted Satellite Communications Support Partnership (GCC SATCOM SP) established by the U.S. and Luxembourg under the auspices of NSPA in 2022, opening a new era of space cooperation within NATO.
\nThe MGS will be available to all NATO countries, including the U.S. and Luxembourg which are charter members of the agreement, and can support missions on SES\u2019s global end-to-end commercial managed services network and national sovereign networks that will be deployed soon under this contract for O3b mPOWER services.
\nThe O3b mPOWER system, used for MGS, is the second-generation MEO constellation, featuring extensive global ground infrastructure and open architecture. The system allows for groundbreaking levels of interoperability, flexibility and government control, to include the capability to provide secure communications and networking solutions for tactical units.
\nYuriko Backes, Luxembourg\u2019s Minister of Defence: \u201cLuxembourg has developed a significant satcom expertise, and we are happy to leverage it to the benefit of NATO and partners. In line with the Luxembourg Defence Space Strategy and through SES\u2019s innovative O3b mPOWER constellation, we help transform government operations and enable cooperative projects while allowing for sovereign government communications networks. Once again, Luxembourg Defence succeeds to consolidate its role of reliable reference partner in the field of space.\u201d
\n\u201cThis is a revolutionary step that accelerates governments\u2019 access to the latest satellite technology. It demonstrates that collaboration across industry and governments and the adoption of dual-use technology are important elements of effective global defence and security,\u201d said Stacy Cummings, NSPA General Manager. \u201cAs new nations join the GCC SATCOM SP, they will also be able to leverage MGS, which simultaneously supports secure sovereign networks and enables coalition operations among allies when required.\u201d
\n\u201cThe NSPA contract vehicle accelerates government access to secure high-performance satcom innovation,\u201d said Adel Al-Saleh, CEO of SES. \u201cWe developed O3b mPOWER with the governments\u2019 mission critical connectivity needs in mind and have also been working closely with the NATO nations, to make sure that they get the necessary performance, reliability, security and control from day one. It is our privilege to start delivering this new service to the governments, including the United States and Luxembourg.\u201d<\/p>\n
