Why MEO Could Be the Strategic Advantage in Satellite Connectivity?
When people talk about satellite networks, the focus usually lands on GEO systems or the growing wave of LEO constellations. But there’s a middle layer that’s gaining serious traction for its balance of performance and scalability: Medium Earth Orbit (MEO).
SES has been investing in this space for years, and now, it’s becoming clear why.
In this interview, Mateo Meo speaks with Deepu Pillai, Senior Manager of Strategy and Market Intelligence at SES, about the company’s approach to MEO and its latest innovation, O3b mPOWER. The discussion covers how MEO is positioned to serve high-throughput, low-latency applications across sectors like energy, mobility, defense, and cloud.
They also dive into SES’s work with telcos, hyperscalers, and emerging standards like 3GPP, highlighting how satellite connectivity is becoming a native part of modern network infrastructure.
If you’re curious about the future of connectivity and the role space will play in it, this conversation offers a clear and insightful perspective.
