SES Expands Inflight and Satellite Broadband Services in Latin America
SES, a space solutions company, has announced new initiatives to enhance connectivity in Latin America. In partnership with Viva, a low-cost airline in Mexico, SES is launching a multi-orbit satellite inflight connectivity service on Viva's Airbus aircraft. This service will be available on 60 A320s and 40 A321s, making Viva the first Mexican airline to use SES's new electronically steered array antenna. Additionally, SES is collaborating with TV ISLA to expand broadband access on Providencia Island, Colombia, using a hybrid medium Earth orbit (MEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite solution. This project aims to provide high-performance connectivity to approximately 7,000 residents and tourists, with plans to roll out a fiber-to-the-home network to 1,500 homes.
