Today, connectivity is expected. Satellites are an essential resource for internet access, broadcast service, cellular networks and crucial information exchange. For decades, Maxar Space Systems built communications satellites have helped businesses keep their customers connected across a range of industries, enabling:
Today’s high-throughput satellites provide consumer and industrial broadband access for the maritime and aviation industries. Maxar-built satellites also deliver essential services such as distance learning and telemedicine to rural areas—improving lives in remote communities.
Direct-broadcast satellites transmit signals for many consumer applications, including satellite television and radio. Satellite radio is designed to be received by small mobile antennas (like car-mounted antennas) and provides consistent programming across broad geographic areas.
Fixed satellite service (FSS) satellites are used for television content distribution, private corporate networks, and for applications such as banking, inventory control and distribution of training and digital signage. FSS satellites also play a key role in emergency operations and news reporting and can provide backup to critical terrestrial networks that cannot risk down time.
SXM-8 is the ninth high-powered digital audio radio satellite built by Maxar for SiriusXM. We are currently designing SXM-9 and SMX-10.
Star One D2, built on Maxar’s proven 1300 series platform, is the third satellite the company has built for Embratel over the past decade.
JUPITER 3 (whose spacecraft is called EchoStar XXIV) is an ultra-high-density satellite that joined the Hughes JUPITER fleet, which includes two other Maxar-built spacecraft. This newest spacecraft takes a significant leap forward in satellite engineering, showcasing cutting-edge advancements in communication satellite design and functionality.
How can Maxar help you move the industry forward?
