SES: Château de Betzdorf

Château de Betzdorf is the global headquarters campus of SES S.A. in Betzdorf, Luxembourg, and is publicly described by SES as the site housing its satellite and network operations centre, a large antenna park, and associated service-management capabilities that support SES’s broadcast and data service delivery.

The campus is also publicly referenced as the location for GovSat (a public-private joint venture between the Luxembourg government and SES), and is positioned as a core operational hub in SES’s global satellite infrastructure. Facility-level data center specifications (e.g., MW, gross building size, total whitespace) are Not publicly disclosed in available public operator materials reviewed.
