On the occasion of French President Emmanuel Macron’s state
visit to China, Eutelsat Communications (Paris:ETL) (Euronext
Paris: ETL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with China
United Network Communications Co., Ltd. (China Unicom) that is
aimed at addressing the fast-growing satellite communications
market in Asia-Pacific in the framework of the “Belt and Road”
initiative.
The MoU, which was signed on 9 January, by Rodolphe Belmer, CEO
of Eutelsat and Xiaochu Wang, Chairman of China Unicom, aims in
particular to leverage resources on the EUTELSAT 172B satellite to
enhance inflight connectivity services across an area stretching
from the West coast of North America to Asia, and down to
Australia. Cooperation to further develop satellite communication
services across the globe is also under consideration.
Commenting on the cooperation agreement, Rodolphe Belmer said:
“China Unicom is an ideal partner for promoting satellite
communications in Belt and Road regions. This agreement builds on
the cooperation that started in 2008, when Eutelsat provided
satellite transmission services to China Unicom during the Beijing
Olympic Games. This cooperation also highlights the quality and
reach of Eutelsat’s in-orbit resources, in particular at the 172°
East orbital position. This reinforced partnership will allow both
companies to leverage on their own strengths in order to address
future opportunities in the connectivity markets.”
