What Happened to Konnect?

Konnect operated as a satellite broadband specialist owned by Eutelsat, providing internet services to rural communities with limited access to traditional fixed-line networks. The Eutelsat Konnect satellite launched in 2020, providing coverage across Europe and Africa.

Eutelsat previously acquired Bigblu in autumn 2020 for approximately €38 million, merging it into the Konnect brand. Both Bigblu and Konnect have since ceased domestic operations in Ireland, with Bigblu now in liquidation.
