SES awaits security clearance, says new MEO satellites to boost Reliance Jio’s enterprise business

NEW DELHI: Luxembourg-based satellite operator SES said that the company is awaiting security approvals from the Indian government to commercially launch services, and its newly-inducted O3b mPower communications satellite systems would facilitate Jio’s space broadband offering for enterprises in the country.

‘I think the last bit of security regulations are being sorted out. In my opinion, we are ready to go. We are already doing proof-of-concepts (PoC), but we’re not allowed to carry commercial traffic. But in my opinion, we are just a few months away, and launch within the year,’ Harsh Verma, head of Asia Pacific (fixed and maritime), SES, told ETSatcom.
