Eutelsat is a satellite communications and broadcasting company headquartered in Paris, France. Its satellite networks include geostationary spacecraft and the OneWeb low Earth orbit constellation. The company announced a unified Eutelsat brand in September 2025, retaining OneWeb as the constellation’s name.
The UK government’s parliamentary record documents the completed Eutelsat–OneWeb merger and consent requirements for moving OneWeb’s operations away from the United Kingdom. In October 2026, OneWeb India’s director described preparations for Indian satellite services, with infrastructure ready but security-clearance work still ongoing.
