Eutelsat and Tusass have signed a multi-year strategic agreement to deliver Eutelsat’s OneWeb low Earth orbit (LEO) connectivity in Greenland.
The partnership has expanded their collaboration, enabling the provision of secure and resilient communications across the country’s extensive and remote terrain.
Through the agreement, Tusass will use Eutelsat’s OneWeb network to meet a broad spectrum of connectivity demands – from broadband access for communities to mission-critical infrastructure supporting maritime operations, mobility, and emergency services. The deployment will support Tusass in advancing its strategic priorities of digital inclusion, infrastructure integration, and sovereign capacity across Greenland.
Eutelsat’s OneWeb satellites operate in polar orbit, providing continuous high-latitude coverage with low latency and high-speed connectivity suited to Arctic conditions. This capability is particularly valuable in Greenland, where terrestrial infrastructure remains limited. OneWeb’s demonstrated resilience in challenging environments, such as Northern Canada, further highlights its reliability in comparable Arctic regions.
As resilience and sovereignty rose in importance for Arctic and European nations, the partnership affirmed Eutelsat’s role as a trusted provider of secure, sovereign-grade connectivity.
Cyril Dujardin, President of the Connectivity Business Unit at Eutelsat, said: “Critical infrastructure has become a key focus area across Europe, and we are delighted to continue our work with Tusass to support its efforts in connecting remote communities, backbone infrastructure, and enabling essential services such as rescue operations and maritime security and safety. Our expanded partnership highlights the growing relevance of LEO for both resiliency and redundancy, and for meeting the evolving sovereign and commercial connectivity needs of remote regions. As Arctic nations seek to reinforce their infrastructure Eutelsat delivers a unique capability to connect communities and critical systems, wherever they are.”
Toke Binzer, Tusass Chief Executive Officeradded: “Greenland presents one of the world’s most complex connectivity challenges. By partnering with Eutelsat and its OneWeb LEO solution, we are strengthening our ability to meet the needs of our people and institutions – from everyday internet access to robust national communications infrastructure. This agreement reflects our commitment to resilient, future-proof connectivity that serves all society.”
