SES Asia-Pacific...

Thank you to everyone who joined the SES team at Australasia Satellite Forum 2023 in Sydney, Australia. It was a truly remarkable two-day event that allowed us to reconnect with many industry experts and engage in meaningful discussions 

During the forum, we garnered valuable insights about the ever-evolving satellite communications industry and had the privilege to share more about our cutting-edge #MEO communication system, #O3bmPOWER. This state-of-the-art communication system has exceptional flexibility, catering to diverse geographic and throughput requirements and providing secure #satcom solutions tailored to the needs of government and military operations 

SESer John Turnbull for the session: "Roundtable: Satellite Thought Leadership" in Day 1, and Raoul Heinrichs for the session: "Delivering government or military operational secure satcom solutions for advanced capabilities" in Day 2.
