SES and Elveo Mobile Deepen Collaboration to Advance Direct-to-Device Services in Europe

LUXEMBOURG and WASHINGTON, September 15, 2026 - SES, a global leader in space solutions, and Elveo Mobile, the company that delivers mobile connectivity and elevated intelligence for a planet on the move, today announced the expansion of their collaboration to accelerate delivery of direct-to-device (D2D) services in Europe.

SES will leverage Elveo's patented, proven and cost-effective D2D technology to enable seamless mobile roaming capabilities for European consumers, businesses, governments, institutional, and defense users.

To further this vision, SES and Elveo Mobile will collaborate to establish manufacturing capabilities and a robust supply chain in Europe for the productions of the Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) D2D satellites, using Elveo's patented D2D satellite bus, payload and software technology stack.

These LEO D2D satellites will form part of a unique multi-orbit architecture, combining Elveo's LEO D2D network with SES's geostationary (GEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) networks capable of delivering secure and reliable connectivity to European governments and institutions, including NATO.

European customers also stand to benefit from SES's global distribution of Elveo's D2D services, which use Elveo's high-priority 2 GHz S-band spectrum rights and a global market access footprint currently covering more than one billion people.

European consumers, commercial, and government users deserve resilient, secure, multi-orbit connectivity, and SES is preparing to deliver that next layer of communications in combination with Elveo's direct-to-device services, said Adel Al-Saleh, Chief Executive Officer, SES. Working with our partner Elveo will help bring critical D2D services to European customers on the timeline they demand.

SES is the right partner for Elveo to bring D2D services to Europe, said Ramu Potarazu, CEO of Elveo. Together, we are committed to delivering D2D connectivity for European customers and establishing the manufacturing capabilities needed to support them. By working closely with SES, we are confident we can accelerate access to critical D2D connectivity for European mobile operators and governments that depend on them.
