The extremely high cost of deploying fiber links to remote communities means satellite is often the only choice, but it has come at the cost of lower download speeds and higher latency. SES\u2019s O3b mPOWER\u2019s fiber-like performance largely overcomes those trade-offs, offering the potential of city-like connectivity to remote and isolated communities everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SES has signed an agreement with Pivotel to build a new satellite ground station at the Pivotel teleport in Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia.
