Eutelsat and Voimatel, a leading Finnish provider of telecommunications and critical digital infrastructure services, announced a new partner agreement for Eutelsat’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) connectivity services in Finland. Voimatel will integrate Eutelsat’s LEO connectivity services into its network solutions, combining satellite and terrestrial connectivity to support critical network infrastructure.
The solution will deliver resilient and redundant communications for enterprise and public-sector customers across urban, rural, and remote regions. Voimatel designs and operates fixed and wireless communication networks for telecom operators, utility companies and public-sector organisations across Finland. By integrating Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO services, Voimatel will extend connectivity into high northern latitudes, including Arctic regions where terrestrial coverage can be limited.
Eva Bisgaard, President of Eutelsat’s Connectivity Business Unit said: “Our partnership with Voimatel reflects the growing role of LEO connectivity in supporting critical telecom infrastructure. By combining satellite and terrestrial networks, operators can strengthen the resilience and reach of their communications services, including in Arctic regions where reliable connectivity remains essential.”
Mikko Heinonen, CEO, Voimatel, added: “The addition of Eutelsat’s LEO services strengthens our ability to support telecom and data network customers across Finland. Their low-latency satellite connectivity and Arctic coverage will complement our existing infrastructure capabilities and support the evolving connectivity requirements of our customers.”
