THE EUTELSAT GROUP

Eutelsat Communications is the holding company of Eutelsat S.A., the leading European satellite operator and one of the three top operators in the world for the supply of fixed satellite services. Where the space, telecoms and audiovisual industries converge, our Group is at the heart of the new challenges facing the digital economy through its ability to make broadband facilities available for people to access information worldwide.

Millions of homes benefit already from these services, sometimes without even realising it, to access information and TV programmes on a truly global basis. At the end of 2011, Eutelsat was broadcasting 4000 TV channels, an increase of 2000 channels over the last five years.
