As previously communicated, Ovzon's proprietary satellite, Ovzon 3, has reached its designated position in the geostationary arc. After several weeks of final in-orbit testing, the satellite is now ready for commercial service.

The first delivery of SATCOM-as-a-Service from Ovzon 3 will be provided to the French government organization GIGN (Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale), which will utilize the service immediately to fulfill its advanced connectivity needs during the Summer Games 2024 in France.

The in-orbit tests for Ovzon 3 have been completed on schedule, confirming that the satellite is now ready for commercial service. The tests indicate that the performance and capability of the Ovzon 3 steerable beams not only meet but exceed expectations, achieving an Ovzon T7 terminal industry-leading throughput of 10 Mbps on uplink and 135 Mbps on downlink.

The Ovzon 3 satellite is equipped with the Ovzon On-Board-Processor and features five powerful steerable beams that can maximize capacity across multiple geographical regions.

"This is a moment of great pride for our company. With the satellite now ready for commercial service, Ovzon is entering a new and exciting phase. Supporting the well-renowned French elite organization, GIGN throughout the Summer Games with Ovzon SATCOM-as-a-Service is not only a great honor but also the perfect first use-case. It is the ultimate demonstration of our commitment to our customers by connecting the world's critical missions via satellite," says Per Noren, CEO of Ovzon.
