The first two O3b mPOWER satellites are continuing their journey to Medium Earth Orbit where satellite provider SES will provide fiber-like broadband connectivity to people around the world.
The O3b mPOWER satellite constellation is a first-of-its-kind technology, with more than 5,000 flexible, steerable beams per satellite that can allocate power where it’s needed.
SES Chief Technology Officer Ruy Pinto said the satellites will offer connectivity to government organizations and enterprises, calling the technology a “true game-changer that will transform the way people think about connectivity.”
Production continues on the integration and testing of the remaining nine satellites in the constellation.
