SES

SES (Société Européenne des Satellites / SES S.A.) is a Luxembourg-based global satellite operator and space solutions company headquartered at Château de Betzdorf (Betzdorf, Luxembourg). SES provides satellite and ground communications solutions for data connectivity and media/broadcast distribution worldwide, operating a multi-orbit satellite infrastructure and a global network of operational sites and facilities. SES is publicly listed on the Paris and Luxembourg stock exchanges under ticker SESG.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

Data Center Footprint:

SES publicly positions “colocation services” as equipment hosting within its SES Networks gateway facilities (described as secure, environmentally controlled gateway sites in remote areas worldwide). This is presented as hosting/cross-connecting customer equipment close to satellite gateway infrastructure (e.g., security devices, accelerators, traffic shapers).

A primary campus and operations location is Château de Betzdorf, described by SES as hosting core operational functions (including operations centre elements and antenna infrastructure).

Facility Design & Infrastructure:

SES Networks’ Colocation Services datasheet states equipment can be purchased in Rack Unit increments, and includes specifications such as 230 VAC power and “diverse” circuits, with front/rear access.

The same datasheet markets availability of battery backup / UPS and references a 99.999 uptime statement in the service features (as written in the datasheet).

Service Portfolio Overview:

Colocation Services (rack-unit based hosting in SES gateway facilities) plus cross-connect capability and “smart hands” / on-site support are explicitly described in the SES Networks datasheet.

SES also publicly frames itself as delivering data connectivity services and media/broadcast distribution solutions globally (core company positioning).

🔐 Security & Compliance

Infrastructure Resilience:

SES’s colocation datasheet explicitly references battery backup / UPS and includes a 99.999 uptime statement (as written).

Physical & Logical Security:

SES’s colocation datasheet describes hosting equipment in secure, managed gateway facilities with staff available to help and on-site “smart hands”/maintenance support.

Compliance & Standards:

Not publicly listed (no ISO/SOC certifications were confirmed in the sources reviewed for this specific Directory-style entry).

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

Carrier Neutrality:

Not publicly listed (no explicit “carrier-neutral data center” positioning confirmed in sources reviewed for this entry).

Network Capabilities:

The colocation datasheet explicitly positions direct connectivity and “managed, low latency connectivity” in conjunction with gateway facility hosting (as written).

Connectivity Use Cases:

Hosting and cross-connecting customer edge/security/optimization devices close to SES gateway infrastructure (explicit examples include “security devices, accelerators or traffic shapers”).

💼 Who It Serves

Organizations needing global satellite-enabled data connectivity solutions (government, mobility, fixed data use cases) and media/broadcast distribution, consistent with SES’s public positioning.

Customers requiring gateway-adjacent equipment hosting (rack-unit colocation) with cross-connect and on-site support at SES gateway facilities.
