Tusass, a telecommunications company, has sealed a multi-year strategic agreement with Eutelsat to bring the OneWeb LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite connectivity to Greenland. It will be able to provide secure connections in satellite coverage zones and across vast, remote areas.
Under the agreement, Tusass will leverage Eutelsat’s OneWeb network to address a wide range of connectivity needs – from community broadband access to mission-critical infrastructure, including maritime, mobility, and emergency services. Eutelsat stated that the deployment supports Tusass in delivering on its strategic objectives for digital inclusion, infrastructure integration, and sovereign capacity across Greenland.
Toke Binzer, Tusass’ CEO, said Greenland presents one of the world’s most complex connectivity challenges. “By partnering with Eutelsat and its OneWeb LEO solution, we are strengthening our ability to meet the needs of our people and institutions – from everyday internet access to robust national communications infrastructure. This agreement reflects our commitment to resilient, future-proof connectivity that serves all society.”
Cyril Dujardin, President of the Connectivity Business Unit at Eutelsat, said critical infrastructure has become a key focus area across Europe. “We are delighted to continue our work with Tusass to support its efforts in connecting remote communities, backbone infrastructure, and enabling essential services, such as rescue operations and maritime security and safety. Our expanded partnership highlights the growing relevance of LEO for both resiliency and redundancy, and for meeting the evolving sovereign and commercial connectivity needs for remote regions. As Arctic nations seek to reinforce their infrastructure, Eutelsat delivers a unique capability to connect communities and critical systems, wherever they are.”
Digital Resilience
Tusass stated that OneWeb satellites orbit at low altitudes, ensuring coverage in Arctic regions – an essential factor for a country like Greenland, where many areas lack access to land-based infrastructure. The proven robustness of the OneWeb network in other Arctic regions, such as northern Canada, highlights its reliability even under harsh conditions.
The agreement with Eutelsat aligns with Tusass’ strategic goals of advancing digital inclusion, integrating infrastructure, and building capacity throughout the country. Eutelsat’s OneWeb satellites operate in a polar orbit, enabling seamless high-latitude coverage and ensuring low-latency, high-speed connectivity in Arctic conditions. This capability is especially critical for Greenland, where many areas lack access to terrestrial infrastructure.
OneWeb’s proven resilience in challenging environments such as Northern Canada further underscores its reliability across similarly remote Arctic regions. As resilience and sovereignty become top priorities for Arctic and European nations, this partnership reinforces Eutelsat’s role as a trusted enabler of secure, sovereign-grade connectivity solutions.
