With this major milestone, the Company is ready to deliver connectivity across the United Kingdom, Canada, Alaska, Northern Europe, Greenland, and the Arctic Region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest launch takes OneWeb\u2019s in-orbit constellation to 254 satellites, or 40% of OneWeb\u2019s planned fleet of 648 LEO satellites that will deliver high-speed, low-latency global connectivity. OneWeb intends to make global service available in 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Service demonstrations will begin this summer in several key locations \u2013 including Alaska and Canada \u2013 as OneWeb prepares for commercial service in the next six months. Offering enterprise-grade connectivity services, the Company has already announced distribution partnerships across several industries and businesses including with BT, ROCK Network, AST Group, PDI, Alaska Communications and others, as OneWeb expands its global capabilities. The Company continues to engage with telecommunications providers, ISPs, and governments worldwide to offer its low-latency, high-speed connectivity services and sees growing demand for new solutions to connect the hardest to reach places.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The launch of the latest 36 satellites was conducted by Arianespace from the Vostochny Cosmodrom. Liftoff occurred on 1 July at 13:48 BST. OneWeb\u2019s satellites separated from the rocket and were dispensed in 9 batches over a period of 3 hours 52 minutes with signal acquisition on all 36 satellites confirmed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson, MP, said:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cThis latest launch of OneWeb satellites will put high-speed broadband within reach of the whole Northern Hemisphere later this year, including improving connectivity in the remotest parts of the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBacked by the British Government, OneWeb proves what is possible when public and private investment come together, putting the UK at the forefront of the latest technologies, opening up new markets, and ultimately transforming the lives of people around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sunil Bharti Mittal, Founder and Chairman of Bharti Enterprises, Executive Chairman of OneWeb, said:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cToday\u2019s momentous milestone demonstrates that OneWeb is now a leader in LEO broadband connectivity, serving a wide range of stakeholders across the Northern Hemisphere. This fifth launch amid the unprecedented global pandemic is truly remarkable and I congratulate the management team and fellow shareholders on the success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBharti\u2019s doubling of its investment earlier this week is testament to the commitment to OneWeb\u2019s mission. We now look forward to the next chapter in OneWeb\u2019s story, preparing the company for commercial service in the less than six months to deliver our global connectivity solutions to communities around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Rt. Hon. Kwasi Kwarteng, MP, Secretary of State, BEIS, added:&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cToday\u2019s launch is an exciting milestone in providing some of the world\u2019s most remote locations with fast, UK-backed broadband less than a year since British government investment made this possible. With yet another successful mission, the people of the UK can be proud that this country is at the heart of the latest advances in small satellite technology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOneWeb\u2019s coverage across the Northern Hemisphere now puts the United Kingdom at the forefront of the latest developments in Low Earth Orbit technology, and we will capitalise on the company\u2019s unique position within this growing market to build a strong domestic space industry and cement our status as a global science and technology superpower.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Neil Masterson, OneWeb CEO, said:&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cThis is a truly historic moment for OneWeb, the culmination of months of positive momentum in our \u2018Five to 50\u2019 programme, increased investment from our global partners and the rapid onboarding of new customers. We are incredibly excited to start delivering high-speed, low-latency connectivity first to the UK and the Arctic region and to see our network scale over the coming months as we continue building to global service. Thanks to all our incredible partners who have been with us on this journey and are instrumental to making OneWeb\u2019s mission a success.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/default-spaceexplored-related-guide.png\" alt=\"Site default logo image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related\">Related<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Amazon to launch its first batch of Project Kuiper satellites on ULA rockets<\/li>\n<li>OneWeb finds life after bankruptcy as satellite internet competition mounts from Starlink<\/li>\n<li>Starlink Timeline: A breakdown of events and launches for the SpaceX satellite constellation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/08\/unistellar-telescope.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17371\" width=\"750\" height=\"150\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22696"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22696\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
