At SATShow Week, SES CEO Adel Al-Saleh and Lynk CEO Ramu Potarazu said the merged company planned to deliver connectivity in mid-2027. SES provides the ground network routing traffic between low orbit, medium orbit and the ground. Al-Saleh said he doubted consumers would pay $50–60 a month for satellite-to-phone service and expects it to become a cheaper add-on.

## Key facts

- The merger was still waiting for final regulatory approval.
- Potarazu cited launch availability as a challenge.
- Manufacturing planned in the US, Europe and Asia.
