France for many years Eutelsat He was trying to build a European alternative Elon Musk Starlink satellite broadband service.
The company combined the satellite communication industry in the region to reach the SPACEK’s StarLink, combined with Britain Satellite Ventue OneWeb.
Last week, the French state was headed by 1.35 billion euros (1.58 billion euros), the largest shareholder of the company’s largest shareholder.
The European Global Space Race is behind the US behind the United States. Starlink’s satellite satellite satellite satellite utelsat. At the same time, Europe’s starting opportunities are more limited than the United States, the region and the region, which is a market dominated by Spacksx, is very confident in America.
Eutelsat currently has a market capitalization of 1.6 billion euros, which is lower than the assessments of the owner of Starlink owner Looked at $ 350 billion In the second sale of a secondary stock last year. In 2020 Analysts in Morgan Stanley said Starlink sees the “base situation assessment” for the company increases to $ 80.9 billion.
Luke Kehoe, the industrial analyst on the network monitoring company, the country’s investment in Eutelsat is now less like an EUTELSAT such as a commercial telko (as a strategic asset “and” strategic asset “and” strategic asset “such as a critical infrastructure provider. Technological sovereignty.
However, the establishment of a European opponent in Starlink will not be partner.
A matter of scale
Communication industry experts say, Eutelsat will increase efforts to create efforts to create a sovereign satellite provider in Europe, will require an important increase in investment in low ground Orbit (Leo) satellites.
Eutelsat’s Onebeb goal, Starlink’s 7,600 strong global satellite satellite is a total of 650 Leo satellites.
“To offer more potential and coverage, many have become even more difficult for many to increase the number of satellites in space,” Joe Gardiner, Joe Gardiner, CNBC’s market research firm
Ookla’s Kehoe reflected this picture. “EUTSAT’s chances of the mass market satellite in the broadband segment of the mass market segment in the next five years are limited to a parity in a parity in a parity, are given a global global scale in the space infrastructure,” he said.
“Eutelsat, even in a few main areas, including the latest injection of the French state capital, continues to be late behind Starlink, entrance, entry, spectrum and user terminals.”
However, the company’s jurisdiction is well placed in Europe-sovereign, security and segment segments that prefer the raw confirmation capacity of the sovereignty. “Enterprise segment belongs to the market for corporate space clients.
Can Eutelsat replace Starlink in Europe?
Of course there is hope. France’s Emmanuel Macron called on Europe to increase the investigation into space, saying that “the place has become the size of international energy” last week.
Eutelsat said last week when the company declares investment from France, the company “The only European operator with a Leo Network”, as well as French sovereign defense and space communication as “strategic role of the Leo Zodiaur.”
Eutelsat was rumored to replace Starlink in Ukraine earlier this year. For years, Starlink offered satellite Internet services to help war efforts of Russia’s sustainable occupation in Ukraine’s military service.
Relations between the United States and Ukraine were welded after the presidential election Donald Trump And the United States says the United States has increased the opportunity to cut the entrance to Ukraine to Starlink.
Germany established 1000 EUTELLAT Terminal in April to provide an alternative in Ukraine to provide an alternative to Ukraine – with the replacement of the 20,000 terminal in the fighting country.
Since then, the US-Ukrainian tension has been cooled and the main satellite broadband provider is up to the Ukrainian army.
Eutelsat’s former CEO Eva Berneke himself acknowledged that the company still did not match the scale of St. Stlink.
“If Ukraine and all citizens seized the entire connection capacity – we will not be able to do it. Let’s be very honest,” He said he met Politico in April.
Berneke, as CEO, was replaced by the former CEO of the French telecommunications giant Jean-Franchis-Flamzer Orange.

Meanwhile, despite the expansion of investments in the Leo satellite with the EUTELEB section, experts say technical architectures and orbital designs are different from St. Stork.
“Currently, Oneweb Zodiac uses a tilted pipe architecture that is not as competent as Starlink satellites; therefore, Oneweb must invest in second generation satellites.”
The use of French company is also different from Starlink. Eutelsat, Geostationary Orbit (GEO), as well as a constellation of Leo satellites. Geo satellites can cover more areas at a height of higher orbit and usually less satellite than the Leo equivalents.
“Circumstances used as” satellites and research facilities “for polar use,” satellites and research facilities in remote areas such as EUTELSAT’s high height satellites, Greenland and Alaska. ” Cisco’s Minees Network Exploration Unit.
Eutelsat, who looked upon the upcoming, said he planned to “develop” “on operational improvements” and “differentiated market model” and “strong European anchorification”. In addition, the British government also said he could increase investment in EUTELSAT.
