10月29日：欧洲通信卫星公司（Eutelsat）周四表示，随着该公司在欧盟计划推出的、对标埃隆·马斯克旗下星链（Starlink）卫星互联网服务的替代方案中发挥主导作用，预计2032年至2040年间将实现超过100亿欧元（约合111亿美元）的商业服务收入。
Oct 29 : Eutelsat expects commercial services revenue of more than €10 billion ($11.1 billion) between 2032 and 2040 as it takes a leading role in the European Union's planned alternative to Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service, it said on Thursday.
这家法英合资运营商已被选中牵头欧盟IRIS²网络的低地球轨道（LEO）部分，该网络将包含330颗卫星。首批IRIS²卫星计划于2029年发射，初步服务预计从2030年开始提供。
The Franco-British operator had been chosen to lead the low Earth orbit (LEO) segment of the EU's IRIS² network that will feature 330 satellites. The first IRIS² satellites are scheduled for launch in 2029, with initial services expected from 2030.
在唐纳德·特朗普总统重返白宫后，欧洲试图减少该集团对美国技术的依赖，欧洲通信卫星公司因此地位凸显，因为它拥有OneWeb——这是SpaceX星链之外唯一的低轨卫星网络替代方案。
Eutelsat has gained prominence as Europe tries to reduce the bloc's reliance on US technology after President Donald Trump's return to office, since it owns OneWeb, the only LEO satellite network alternative to SpaceX's Starlink.
这家总部位于巴黎的公司在交易更新中表示，其订单储备目前包括来自设计和建造IRIS²的89亿欧元收入，主要将在2027年至2031年间确认。仅这一项就超过欧洲通信卫星公司去年12.4亿欧元营收的七倍，并使其订单储备总额从6月底的34亿欧元增至121亿欧元。
In a trading update, the Paris-based company said its backlog now includes €8.9 billion of revenue from designing and building IRIS², to be recognised primarily between 2027 and 2031. That alone is more than seven times the €1.24 billion of revenue Eutelsat generated last year, and lifts its total backlog to €12.1 billion from €3.4 billion at end-June.
这一预测对该公司而言是一大利好，该公司正寻求用卫星互联网服务来抵消其日渐萎缩的视频广播业务。
The forecast is a major boost for a company aiming to offset its waning video broadcasting business with satellite internet services.
OneWeb拥有600多颗卫星，并计划在10亿欧元的扩建项目中再增加229颗卫星。
OneWeb has more than 600 satellites and 229 more are planned in a €1 billion expansion.
欧洲通信卫星公司表示，2027年至2034年间，它将在IRIS²网络的共享和商业基础设施上合计投资33.9亿欧元，以换取超过OneWeb当前带宽两倍以上的接入能力。
Eutelsat said it will invest a combined €3.39 billion in shared and commercial infrastructure on the IRIS² network between 2027 and 2034, in return for access to more than twice OneWeb's current bandwidth.
尽管前景乐观，但第一季度营收仍低于预期。在截至9月底的三个月里，其四项运营业务的营收同比有机下降2.1%，至2.783亿欧元。这低于公司汇编的分析师调查平均预期的2.91亿欧元。
Despite the upbeat outlook, first-quarter revenue fell short of expectations. Revenue from its four operating businesses fell 2.1 per cent like-for-like to €278.3 million in the three months to end-September. That was below the €291 million average of a company-compiled analyst poll.
欧洲通信卫星公司确认了其2026-27年度和2028-29年度的财务目标。
Eutelsat confirmed its financial targets for 2026-27 and 2028-29.
