Satellite Internet access

The construction of broadband internet, accessible from anywhere on the planet, is now a step closer. The billionaire Elon Musk's visionary company, SpaceX, has successfully launched two satellites to launch Starlink's project.

European wireless network for airline passengers will be launched by the end of June, yesterday companies working on the project said to Reuters.

Arianespace’s Ariane 5 launch is “go” for its Wednesday evening liftoff from the Spaceport in French Guiana.

A survey presented by Spiegel reveals that European companies are the ones that provide satellite Internet to ISIS fighters.

The development of the SAS in Nemea, Peloponnese, will be a key infrastructure milestone for EAN, which was unveiled by Inmarsat last month as the first aviation passenger connectivity solution in Europe to combine an advanced satellite network and LTE-based ground network, the latter of which will be operated by Deutsche Telekom.

Inmarsat, British satellite company, has chosen Greece and the country’s largest telecommunications provider OTE to install the terrestrial satellite station of the European Aviation Network (EAN). The service will offer high-speed inflight connectivity for Europe from a Satellite Access Station (SAS) to be set up in Nemea, the Peloponnese.

OTE telecom has selected the Eutelsat KA-SAT to deliver new satellite broadband service to homes across Greece.

The satellite broadband service will be delivered alongside OTE’s TV platform broadcast from the Eutelsat 9A satellite.

The broadband service and the TV platform will share the same orbital position as KA-SAT.
