The all-digital satellites are being prepared in Florida for launch to Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), 8,000 km from Earth, where they will provide low-latency, high-throughput connectivity to users around the world.<\/p>\n<p>The satellites combine Boeing\u2019s flight-proven 702 platform, Boeing subsidiary Spectrolab\u2019s custom-designed solar arrays built to withstand harsh MEO radiation, and, most critically, the 702X software-defined payload providing more than 5,000 steerable beams per satellite.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSES&#8217;s O3b mPOWER system is a true game-changer and will transform the way people think about connectivity,\u201d said Ruy Pinto, Chief Technology Officer at SES. \u201cDelivering performance above all, O3b mPOWER will offer connectivity services to government organizations and enterprises based in the most remote regions. In times of natural disasters, when networks are disrupted, O3b mPOWER\u2019s low-latency services can quickly restore critical communications networks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead of relying on fewer, larger, fixed beams or a proliferated Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation covering vast regions \u2013 systems that struggle to fulfill high-density demand \u2013 the software-driven O3b mPOWER system is equipped with shapeable beams that can be repositioned based on real-time data from SES customers\u2019 terminals, delivering a superior end-user experience.<\/p>\n<p>With Boeing contracted to deliver 11 O3b mPOWER satellites to SES, Boeing continues production, integration, and testing of the remaining nine spacecraft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSES approached us with a vision to create global equity, by providing people with high-speed connectivity where it wasn\u2019t economically or physically feasible to build fiber infrastructure,\u201d said Jim Chilton, senior vice president of Space and Launch at Boeing Defense, Space &amp; Security. \u201cWe partnered to create a supercomputer constellation in space to meet that goal, and we can\u2019t wait to see what SES does as the 702X platform\u2019s first user.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Click here to learn about Satellite Bus and Platforms from various manufacturers listed on SatNow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boeing has delivered the first two O3b mPOWER satellites to SES, a leader in global content connectivity solutions.
