The global coverage offered by Hispasat in its three largest regions of operation (North and Central America, South America and EMEA) enable the company to offer top-quality, efficient and high availability mobility services.
Space capacity services for mobility are divided into three main groups in relation to the target markets:

Satellites are key in providing onboard connectivity services. HISPASAT offers services in different segments of this market such as commercial aviation, defense and security.
Europe and Latin America are the markets with the largest percentage of growth in upcoming years both in commercial as well as private aviation.
Additionally, 80% of airlines invest in initiatives to offer a personalized experience to their passengers which leads them to provide connectivity services such as onboard WiFi to improve the user experience.
Hispasat offers space capacity in the aeronautics market both in Europe and in America, where it works with commercial and governmental customers. Likewise, Hispasat has recently announced the launch of the new Amazonas Nexus satellite, which includes a Ku HTS payload especially designed for this market.

The use of satellite technology allows broadband services to be implemented more quickly in the railway sector.Satellite connection ensures the continuity of the service throughout the train journey, even in locations where terrestrial networks do not reach.
With more than 10 years of business experience in the railway market, Hispasat has launched the new generation of satellite connectivity services for trains based on three pillars:
Hispasat collaborates with Telefónica to provide onboard connectivity and entertainment services to the high speed train network in Spain managed by RENFE.
The solution offered to RENFE combines satellite connections with 3G-4G connections throughout the train journey in order to offer the best user experience to passengers. Hispasat features a WiFi access that offers connectivity to more than 400 travelers simultaneously and reaches great broadband access through the combination of technologies as the train moves forward at 350 km/h. The solution additionally live television, a video system that provides trip-related information in real time, an audiovisual content server with the latest movie releases and audio services and a virtual newsstand.
Thanks to satellite connectivity in trajectories like Madrid-Seville, Madrid-Alicante and Madrid-Barcelona, Renfe has 64 connected trains.

The maritime sector is one of the main drivers for growth in the satellite market in upcoming years for operators and service providers. Satellites are the ideal option to offer connectivity in the sea where it is impossible to roll out terrestrial infrastructures.
The potential markets within the maritime sector are:
Hispasat's fleet features optimized coverage in the Ku band to offer efficient, high-quality services available to all the markets in the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, north-western rim of Africa, the Caribbean, the coast of Chile and other areas in the Pacific.
With the arrival of the H30W-6 satellite, Hispasathas extended the coverage of its iDIRECT broadband platform to America. This platform can extend the coverage of the maritime service to other areas of the Americas, especially in the Caribbean, where there is a high demand from cruise ships.
Hispasat's global maritime VNO platform allows customers to sign up for managed connectivity services within its satellite coverage regardless of where the ship is located. To do so, Hispasat facilitates the commercial activation of VNO slots in both coverages providing flexible models until the slots are filled.
In 2019, in collaboration with the maritime services provider Syntelix, Hispasat defined a catalogue of products to jointly market a pay-per-use business model in Latin America and the Caribbean.
A flexible business model has been developed that reduces the risks for the integrator and distributor of maritime services, thus facilitating the roll out and development of its go-to-market strategy.
