Momentum, a leading provider of enterprise connectivity solutions in remote areas throughout North and South America, today announced an enhanced agreement that will enable Momentum to use OneWeb’s high-speed, low-latency satellite fleet, on top of Eutelsat’s ADVANCE global connectivity solution.


This partnership will help tobring high-performance communications services to Oil & Gas projects and facilities across Canada, and the U.S. Momentum is already a customer of Eutelsat, who, consequently, will be distributing OneWeb’s LEO satellite communications services along with its existing connectivity products in a number of key markets. By leveraging OneWeb’s trusted and stable global LEO satellite network, Momentum’s oil & gas customers will be able to remotely control, monitor, manage and secure critical infrastructure at multiple site locations in real time. Momentum’s broad solution-set is a great fit for clients who require the ability to connect multiple critical sites, enabling them to reach any remote area and implement an available and managed service.

Integrating satellites services from Eutelsat and OneWeb, Momentum will deliver a full suite of true enterprise business network connectivity solutions to its clients, providing capacity, high-speed, low-latency services with quick setup and development, support structures and services in place on the backend. By gaining access to stable and fast download and upload speeds, along with low latency, remote Oil & Gas clients can trust that critical business data is being safely and reliably transferred to and from their head offices.

Brad Kossowan, Chief Operating Officer of Momentum, commented: “Our enhanced partnership with Eutelsat and OneWeb is a game-changer for oil & gas operators in remote locations. It supports the growing demand for real-time data, monitoring and managing operations on site or remote, crew communications and wellness. Eutelsat’s robust offer for high-end connectivity solutions, paired with OneWeb’s global LEO constellation is the perfect complement to our enterprise connectivity services.”

Cyril Dujardin, General Manager Connectivity Business Unit of Eutelsat, said: “Through our partnership with OneWeb, we are proud to collaborate and provide Momentum with new, advanced connectivity solutions. With this hybrid approach we can give clients tailor-made, dynamic and high-performance communication services, leveraging our industry experience know-how and providing end-to-end support.”

Carole Plessy, VP Global Maritime & Europe Region of OneWeb, commented: “We are excited to partner with Momentum, who brings industry-leading experience that will enable OneWeb to expand our capabilities within the energy sector. By bringing together our complementary services, we’ll bring next-generation connectivity to oil & gas customers across North America.”

The rise of smart vehicles, projected to surpass 470 million connected cars by 2025, is rapidly transforming the transportation landscape. Enabled by IoT, these vehicles offer real-time communication with infrastructure, on-the-go diagnostics, and advanced safety features. Yet, challenges like patchy cellular network coverage persist. From facilitating autonomous driving and vehicle-to-vehicle communication to enhancing safety and sustainability, satellite-powered IoT is set to accelerate the connected vehicles revolution, optimizing transportation efficiency and environmental impact.
The mobile phone industry is undergoing a transformation, with emerging technology enabling direct communication between standard mobile phones and satellites. With regulatory changes, international partnerships, and new technological standards, mobile devices will soon boast enhanced satellite connectivity. Companies like SpaceX and Apple are diving deep into the race to provide extensive satellite communication, partnering with T-Mobile and Globalstar, respectively. As the competition intensifies, companies are pushed to innovate or risk becoming obsolete.
The age of connectivity we live in is marked by an explosion in smart devices and data consumption, underpinned by rapid urbanization and technological innovations. This necessitates superior communication infrastructure, especially with the rise of 4K/8K video streaming, online gaming, VR/AR, and shifts in work culture prompted by COVID-19. Despite 4G/LTE networks serving us till now, they lack in terms of speed and latency for present needs. Ensuring low-latency is paramount for real-time communications, particularly in sectors like autonomous vehicles, healthcare, and finance. Integrating terrestrial networks (like 5G) with non-terrestrial networks (like satellites) presents a solution, but is challenged by technical, regulatory, and economic factors. Future advancements in satellite communication, including improved payloads and next-gen constellations, look promising. The synergy between 5G and satellite networks will shape the future of global connectivity.
Satellite constellations are advanced networks of strategically placed satellites designed to offer extensive global coverage, overcoming the limitations of single satellite systems. They’re pivotal in global communications, particularly in the era of 5G, enabling high-speed, low-latency connections. Different constellations operate at varying altitudes – Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) – each with unique benefits and challenges. As 5G emerges, these constellations will not only provide ultra-fast connectivity but will also bridge the digital divide, ensuring all corners of the world have access. Companies like SpaceX’s Starlink and Amazon’s Project Kuiper are pioneering efforts in this realm. However, while the opportunities are vast, challenges like interference management, space debris, and regulatory hurdles remain.
The emergence of 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) presents a revolutionary step in global digital connectivity, but it brings with it intricate regulatory and policy challenges. These directives play a pivotal role, influencing the design, services, and the very integrity of these networks. Key issues range from spectrum allocation and licensing to operational standards and the potential cyber threats these networks might face. Given the global nature of 5G NTN, coordinating regulations across international boundaries becomes paramount, as does addressing the growing concerns of space debris. Moreover, with the vast amount of data these networks handle, policies ensuring data privacy and cybersecurity are of utmost importance. Ultimately, understanding and navigating this complex regulatory landscape is crucial for the successful deployment and operation of 5G NTN.
5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) promise a new horizon in global communication with high-speed, low-latency features. Yet, as they usher in this new era, they also introduce significant security and privacy challenges. Key vulnerabilities, such as signal jamming, spoofing, and eavesdropping, pose risks to data integrity and user privacy. Addressing these threats demands a layered approach, utilizing advanced cryptographic methods, intrusion detection systems, and innovative AI/ML techniques. As we navigate the future of 5G NTN, it’s crucial to prioritize user security and privacy, balancing the immense potential of these networks with the inherent risks they present.
