Swedish broadband operator Ovzon announced on Tuesday that its first fully owned satellite is set to begin commercial services following successful tests in geostationary orbit.<\/p>\n
Company CEO Per Nor\u00e9n revealed that the inaugural client for Ovzon 3 will be France\u2019s elite police tactical unit, GIGN (Groupe d\u2019Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale), ahead of the Summer Olympics in Paris later this month.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur proprietary T7 mobile user terminal has achieved impressive speeds with Ovzon 3,\u201d Nor\u00e9n stated, noting speeds of \u201c135 megabits per second download and 10 Mbps upload,\u201d surpassing initial expectations.<\/p>\n
Ovzon 3, built by Maxar Technologies, boasts five steerable beams and a reprogrammable onboard processor designed to establish a versatile mesh network, enabling independent operation of remote user terminals.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Department of Defense, historically Ovzon\u2019s primary customer, continues to show strong interest, alongside rising demand from European government clients for Sweden\u2019s first commercial satellite.<\/p>\n
After overcoming years of launch delays and regulatory challenges, Ovzon secured extensions to meet spectrum rights obligations for its orbital slot at 59.7 degrees East.<\/p>\n
Nor\u00e9n confirmed that Ovzon 3 successfully reached its orbital position on May 26, following a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch in January, and commenced operations ahead of the extended July 4 deadline.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have informed international regulators through the Cyprus administration of our satellite\u2019s successful arrival,\u201d Nor\u00e9n added, awaiting final confirmation of regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n
The completion of regulatory processes, including Cyprus\u2019s re-confirmation of \u201cBring into Use\u201d status, marks the final step before full operational status for Ovzon 3.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
