Neo Space Group (NSG)

Neo Space Group (NSG) is a space services company based in Saudi Arabia that serves customers around the world. It works in satellite communications, geospatial data and positioning, navigation and timing (PNT). It is part of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and plays a role in the Kingdom's space plans under Vision 2030.

For airlines, NSG offers in-flight connectivity under the Skywaves name. The service is for both business and commercial air travelers. It pairs the Skywaves traffic management platform with the SkyFly passenger portal, which gives passengers entertainment, movie streaming, gaming and e-commerce in flight. NSG works with SES and Display Interactive on this service.

The Skywaves platform offers speeds of up to 200 Mbps with service level agreements. It uses the SES Open Orbits network across GEO, MEO and LEO satellites and switches between orbits as needed. It also shares bandwidth between passengers in real time. The full system includes a ThinKom Ka2517 antenna.

NSG Geospatial Services give governments, businesses and individuals data and analytics about the planet. The group also runs NSG UP42, a marketplace where users can find, manage and process Earth observation data from many providers in one place.

Two more lines are marked as launching soon. Satellite capacity leasing will give customers access to satellite bandwidth for communication and data transmission. The PNT business plans solutions that include SBAS, GNSS, geofencing and improved navigation services.

NSG serves the government, maritime, energy, aviation and farming sectors. Its listed strategic partners include SES, Display Interactive, the Saudi Space Agency, Saudia, Airbus, Turkish Airlines, Thai Airways International and Uzbekistan Airways. In 2026 it signed an MoU with HispaSat and another with the National Center for Sustainable Agriculture Research and Development.
