The merits of vertical and horizontal satellite integration

摘要

Pierre-Jean Beylier: Change is a constant at Speedcast and this is embedded in our culture. Through both organic and inorganic growth Speedcast has become the leader in key market segments like maritime and energy. We will continue to grow in those segments organically, leveraging our leadership position, our scale and our capabilities to win market share. Innovation has also become more recently a very important part of our strategy and an area where we invest more and more. We believe in innovation to create more value for our customers. As our customers transform themselves through digitalisation, they are often looking to us for help; as a result we are expanding the range of services that we offer to include digital and IT services like cybersecurity, content, IT support, crew portal, tracking solutions for vehicles, crew, and equipment. We are also further expanding into segments where we are not the leader today but where our global reach and our network scale create unique benefits to large customers that have communication challenges on a global basis: mining, NGO, government and media are industries where we acquired significant capabilities through past acquisitions and where, following the integration with Speedcast, we are in a strong position to deliver unique value.
