What it does

Eutelsat Group is a French satellite operator that merged with OneWeb, giving it both traditional geostationary satellites and a low Earth orbit broadband constellation of more than 600 satellites. It has ordered a further 340 OneWeb satellites from Airbus.

Why it matters

It is Europe's answer to Starlink and the main non-American operational LEO broadband network, which makes it the sovereignty option for European governments and enterprises. Its business is connectivity, not AI; it appears on this map because network capacity and data sovereignty are becoming AI questions.

How it makes money

Enterprises, governments, telecom operators, airlines, maritime and rail customers pay Eutelsat for satellite capacity and connectivity services.

AI stack position

Space and next-generation infrastructure. Launch providers, satellite builders and operators, ground networks and the first attempts at running computing in orbit. Most of these companies have no AI business today; they are on this map because of what they carry, connect or build for the companies that do. Open the space lens.
