Description: SATS EchoStar December 19, 2025

EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ:SATS) delivers a diversified suite of networking technologies and services across four primary segments: Pay-TV (including DISH and SLING streaming), Retail Wireless (Boost Mobile, Boost Postpaid, Gen Mobile), 5G Network Deployment, and Broadband & Satellite Services for residential, SMB, and government customers.

Key operating metrics as of FY 2023 show total revenue of roughly $2.0 billion, with the Retail Wireless segment contributing ~45% of earnings and the 5G deployment effort targeting an initial 2 GHz spectrum portfolio to support enterprise backhaul. The company’s satellite fleet now exceeds 150 operational satellites, underpinning a growing demand for rural broadband that has driven a 12% YoY increase in residential satellite subscriptions.

Macro-level drivers include accelerating 5G rollouts, heightened consumer appetite for OTT video, and sustained government incentives for expanding broadband in underserved areas-factors that collectively enhance EchoStar’s growth runway.
