Hellas Sat CEO Christodoulos banksnewspapas stated to AMNA that the satellites, which will be launched into the areas of space occupied by other Greek and Cypriot satellites, will feature “revolutionary technologies, satisfying the much higher demands for data transmission speeds and security in communications” in the country.

Greece is known for slower internet speeds, but the high-tech satellites could change that. The Hellas Sat 5 and 6 models will be “satellites with an innovative payload using optical telecommunications,” meaning that there will be a marked increase in both internet speed and security in Greece once they are launched.
The satellites were designed in collaboration with German firm OHB System AG, and they use laser beams to help improve telecommunication.
The new technology will bring internet speeds from 100Gbs to several thousand Gbs, a monumental increase in speed. “With two laser beams one could easily link two countries at high speed, something that will not be done with our familiar satellite ‘dishes’ but with optical means – telescopes,” banksnewspapas stated.
