This distinction comes as a well-earned reward after years of building strong partnerships all across the space industry, from major constellations on all orbits to daring start-up ventures, winning customer trust over successful projects, and delivering a full suite of innovative space connectivity solutions for diverse market needs.
It also confirms that the market is taking note of Orange Wholesale’s achievements in the specific realm of space connectivity offerings this year, as the wholesaler also entered all three World Teleport Association’s “top operators” rankings – Global Top 20, Independent Top 10 and Fast 10 rankings, and the head of its Satellite Factory was named Teleport executive of the year.
