WASHINGTON - Tuesday, March 17th 2015 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE) - SES S.A. (NYSE Paris:SESG) (LuxX:SESG) sees significant progress in the spacecraft and launch technology as a strong catalyst for the role that satellite plays in global digitisation and the roll-out of next generation video and data networks.
In the new White Paper "Creating Space - The Satellite Revolution" published by SES, the leading satellite operator summarises satellite as "a proven technology that has built a stunning track record over more than a generation and is now making another quantum leap into a new era of connectivity".
The White Paper describes three key elements of the "new mantra for satellites": lightness in weight, efficiency in beams and speed to market, and details how electric propulsion, digital on-board processors and modular production of satellites will benefit the industry.
This new thinking -- the design and manufacture of satellites, coupled with the recent revamp of the satellite launch industry -- has already resulted in the first benefits for the satellite industry. With Orbital Transfer Vehicles set to be commercially feasible in the near future, "the upside potential to play a key role in the world´s ongoing digitisation is dramatic", concludes SES.
