Eutelsat is working on the supply of both military standards and terminals, and is expected to take months.
The French satellite operator Eutelsat Communications to the European Union’s negotiations to replace the Starlink satellite network in Ukraine after the United States began reducing its support. Bloomberg reported this on Thursday, March 6.
On Thursday, Eutelsat General Eva Berneke said in an interview with Bloomberg TV that the company had thousands of terminals in Ukraine, though not all of them were connected to the network. Eutelsat is working on the supply of both military standards and terminals, and is expected to take several months to deliver 40 thousand terminals – the amount today Starlink uses in Ukraine.
Starlink has become a critical service for the Ukrainian military over a full -scale war with Russia, as most communication infrastructure has been destroyed. Although many Starlink terminals are funded by Europe, a breakdown in the relationship between Washington and Kiev has brought fears about possible interruptions in providing services.
Eutelsat plans to get financial and logistics support for the rapid increase of terminals in Ukraine. The company also noted that their OneWeb network has more than 600 satellites to orbit at a height of 1200 km, providing a faster connection compared to the lower Starlink Orbit.
In response to the threats of the Russian invasion of the EU and its members of the country, they promised further billions of euros for defense, which enhances the strategic cooperation of Eutelsat.
We reminded, earlier the media wrote that US businessmen, forcing Kyiv, threatened to stop accessing the country’s important satellite internet system by Starlink Ilona Mask.
