Eutelsat and Grupo W Com Expand Long-Term Partnership to Advance Next-Gen Television Services in Mexico Eutelsat (ISIN: FR0010221234 - Euronext Paris / London Stock Exchange: ETL) today announced the extension and expansion of its long-standing partnership with StarTV, part of Grupo W Com, one of Mexico’s leading direct-to-home (DTH) television providers, for the continued delivery of satellite television and next-gen services via the EUTELSAT 117 West B satellite.

Under the renewed multi-year agreement, StarTV will expand its use of satellite capacity on EUTELSAT 117° West B to support the continued growth of its service portfolio, including direct-to-home television, educational content initiatives, and NVOD (Near Video On Demand) over IP across Mexico. The collaboration reflects the increasing importance of satellite infrastructure in enabling the evolution of television services and digital inclusion throughout the country.

As demand for high-quality content and digital services continues to evolve, Eutelsat’s satellite infrastructure remains a key tool to ensuring reliable, scalable, and wide-reaching service delivery. The agreement reinforces the relevance of the 117° West orbital position as one of the most important video neighborhoods in Mexico and Latin America, supporting broadcasters and operators with high-performance distribution capabilities.

Jean-François Fallacher, CEO of Eutelsat, commented: “This expanded partnership with Grupo W Com demonstrates how satellite continues to evolve alongside the changing video landscape, expanding access to high-quality entertainment and digital services across Mexico, while driving innovation in the country’s television market.”

Jose Aguirré Campos, CEO of Grupo W Com, added: “This partnership has allowed us to not just offer low cost pay TV services in Mexico, but to increase our portfolio of services and innovate in order to have added value in our offer and to differentiate ourselves from our competitors. We strongly believe in reinventing ourselves in an industry that constantly demands it and Eutelsat has been working hand-in-hand with our team to launch new services like the NVOD (Near Video On Demand) via Broadcast, which we believe will help reduce churn and will give our customers a chance to have access to movies and tv shows specially in remote places where there are not any accessible ISPs.”
