Intellian Technologies Inc., a global provider of satellite connectivity solutions headquartered in South Korea (KOSDAQ: 189300), and Eutelsat Group, the pioneering GEO-LEO satellite operator, announced a major milestone: the South Korean government has officially granted a Regulatory License for the deployment of Eutelsat OneWeb’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services in Korea.
In a first-of-its-kind decision, the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) approved a cross-border supply agreement for satellite internet services, marking a groundbreaking regulatory precedent in Korea. This license enables the commercial rollout of OneWeb’s LEO connectivity across the country’s maritime, military & government, and enterprise markets — opening the door to a new era of next-generation satellite broadband access.
Eutelsat OneWeb operates major LEO satellite networks, providing secure, low-latency, high-speed broadband with global coverage. The network is already operational across multiple regions, delivering critical connectivity in areas where terrestrial infrastructure is limited or unavailable. The service addresses connectivity demands across diverse applications including maritime, aviation, enterprise, and government networks.
Neha Idnani, Regional Vice President, APAC, at Eutelsat OneWeb, stated, “Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO service will connect Korean businesses and government with reliable, high-speed connectivity. From secure defense networks, maritime operations to blue light services and cellular backhaul, our SLAs and committed information rates are tailored for the most mission-critical use cases. We’re proud to partner with Intellian Technologies — one of our closest technology partners — to deliver Korean-made user terminals for the Korean market, reinforcing our global commitment to local enablement.”
With over 20 years of leadership in satellite communications, Intellian Technologies has evolved from a global antenna manufacturer to a strategic enabler of next-generation connectivity. Headquartered in Pyeongtaek with global operations across 11 countries and four R&D centers, Intellian supports the satellite ecosystem with advanced terminal solutions, integrated platform capabilities, and worldwide field service infrastructure.
Intellian is the largest supplier of OneWeb user terminals globally, offering the most comprehensive range of flat panel and parabolic solutions tailored for land mobility, maritime, and fixed installations. Its portfolio includes the OW10Hx, a compact flat panel terminal based on phased array technology, and the OW11Fx, an enterprise-grade terminal capable of delivering up to 196 Mbps download speeds — both co-developed and deployed in partnership with Eutelsat OneWeb.
Eric Sung, CEO of Intellian Technologies, commented, “Korea’s regulatory approval for LEO services is a major inflection point for the region. It reflects the government’s forward-looking commitment to next-gen connectivity and positions Korea to lead in LEO-based innovation. Intellian is proud to play a key role in enabling this vision through close collaboration with OneWeb. The performance of our terminals — already deployed globally — proves that LEO is no longer experimental. It’s fully operational, scalable, and commercially impactful. With this launch, Korean customers now have access to high-speed satellite broadband that was previously unavailable or unviable, especially in sectors where fiber or terrestrial networks fall short.”
Eutelsat and Intellian see strong growth potential in Korea’s LEO satellite market and are committed to deepening their collaboration for both domestic and international deployments. With OneWeb’s global network fully in place and Intellian’s manufacturing and engineering expertise, the partnership is positioned to support digital transformation across industries and geographies.
