What Servicio Satelital does

Servicio Satelital S.A. is an Argentine privately-held satellite connectivity and telecommunications company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, with a satellite teleport (TIER III certified by UPTIME INSTITUTE) colocated at ARSAT's Benavidez facility. The company provides multi-orbit satellite connectivity services combining GEO, MEO, and LEO satellite networks through redundant hubs based on Gilat Satellite Networks (SkyEdge II) and iDirect (Evolution DVB-S2X) platforms, delivering VSAT-based broadband, private administrable networks, cellular backhaul, backup connectivity, and IoT solutions to enterprise, telecom carrier, oil & gas, education, and government customers across Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chile (including the Islas Malvinas and northern Antarctic Argentina).

The company's technology stack centers on its proprietary OLI (Orbital Link Interface) robotic auto-pointing system launched in 2025, which achieves 0.18-degree antenna pointing precision without relying on satellite signal power or beacon, is compatible with all geostationary satellites, frequencies, dishes, and polarizations, and is claimed to save up to 21% of spectrum through optimal alignment. Service delivery is supported by a 24/7 Network Operations Center with NOC supervisors, engineering support, and logistics staff; operations are backed by ISO 9001:2015 quality management and WTA Tier 3 teleport certifications. The company also holds a partnership with INTV to offer satellite television services to corporate clients.

Servicio Satelital operates a direct B2B enterprise sales motion with a dedicated sales department, account executives, and a commercial manager. Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based recurring contracts for satellite connectivity, with quote-based customized pricing rather than publicly listed rates. The company is privately held as a Sociedad Anónima, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or M&A activity, and leadership includes President Luis Eduardo Lema alongside a management team spanning commercial, finance, engineering, R&D, and special projects functions.
