Its offerings include satellite capacity, broadband connectivity, managed communications services and network solutions designed to support television distribution, cellular backhaul, in-flight connectivity, maritime communications and remote-site access.
The company operates a fleet of geostationary communications satellites and related ground infrastructure, including teleports, network operations centers and terrestrial connectivity assets.

Intelsat’s operations and services are now integrated within the broader SES group, while its satellite and connectivity capabilities continue to support customers worldwide.
