SES Expands Cloud Leadership as Amazon Web Services Direct Connect Partner

SES today announced it has joined the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Direct Connect Delivery Partner program. Through a technical and business review process, AWS validated SES’s ability to connect its customers directly to their AWS services over its network of multi-orbit satellites. This provides SES customers flexible, secure, reliable access to their cloud-based applications and services from virtually any location around the world. This is a major advantage to both enterprises and government users who require reliable bandwidth while working in remote locations. SES is the first satellite operator to achieve AWS Direct Connect Partner status.

As an AWS Direct Connect Delivery Partner, SES can provide enterprises and governments with dedicated connectivity between virtually any location around the world. For SES customers, direct connectivity to AWS via satellite gives them access to their cloud-based applications and services from remote, rural or other locations with limited or no network options. Equally, the satellite connectivity delivered by SES can serve as network redundancy for critical cloud workloads in case of a fibre cut or other network outage. This capability allows SES customers to enjoy improved efficiency and productivity, while also taking advantage of the elasticity and cost savings provided by AWS, regardless of geographical location or local network infrastructure options.

AWS Direct Connect makes it easy for customers to establish a dedicated network connection between their office, data centre, co-location site or other facility and AWS at speeds from 50 Mbps up to 100 Gbps. For customers with large-scale workloads, AWS Direct Connect provides secure, flexible connections with consistent network performance and reduced bandwidth costs.

SES will use its Cloud Direct service to connect its customers to AWS data centres over its network of medium earth orbit (MEO) and geostationary (GEO) satellites. The Cloud Direct service will also be available on SES’s next-generation MEO constellation, O3b mPOWER , launching later this year. O3b mPOWER will provide SES customers with the ideal satellite-enabled cloud connection, supporting multi-gigabit services that adapt dynamically to network demand.

“Achieving AWS Direct Connect Partner status is another milestone in our cloud-first strategy to provide customers with direct access to multiple cloud providers so they have flexibility to run workloads in different clouds based on region, function, use case or other business factors,” said JP Hemingway, CEO of SES Networks. “Our multi-orbit network provides a combination of global coverage and high-performance, low-latency connections that can get customers’ data into AWS from nearly anywhere. Our next-gen O3b mPOWER system will take our cloud capabilities to a new level and set industry benchmarks for intelligent service automation and flexibility on a terabit scale.”

Smoke Free Sweden: Brussels Warned Against Depriving Women of Best Tool to Quit Smoking6.3.2026 10:28:00 CET | Press release

On International Women’s Day (March 8), health experts are warning EU policymakers not to jeopardise women’s health by restricting or banning nicotine pouches that have helped drive one of the world’s most dramatic declines in female smoking. The warning accompanies the release of Empowerment in a Pouch, a report showing how access to oral, tobacco-free nicotine pouches has accelerated Sweden’s progress towards smoke-free status, particularly among women. European Commission proposals under consideration in the Tobacco Products Directive could reverse this progress if applied across the EU, where more than one in five women still smokes. “Sweden’s experience shows what happens when women are given realistic alternatives to smoking,” said Professor Marewa Glover, behavioural scientist and co-author. “Remove those options and you remove momentum. The danger now is that European policy ignores success and repeats past mistakes.” The report shows that since nicotine pouches became availabl
