2 nouveaux satellites O3b arrivés à bon port !
These eight new satellites will expand the current O3b constellation of 12 satellites, which has been operational since 2013. Coming from Thales Alenia Space’s clean rooms in Rome, the latest satellites will augment and seamlessly scale the existing O3b constellation. Together, they offer more capacity, enhanced coverage, increased efficiencies and greater reliability. Thanks to these high performance satellites, SES Networks, the data-focused unit of SES, is delivering carrier-grade services to telcos, mobile network operators (MNOs), internet service providers (ISPs), and energy, mobility and government customers.
Forty-five communications satellites built by Thales Alenia Space as prime contractor were orbited last year. This all-time record clearly illustrates the company’s ability to manage several programs simultaneously, especially LEO and MEO satcom constellations. Looking forward, Thales Alenia Space continues to develop breakthrough telecommunications solutions that are even more powerful, integrated and digital.
Stay tuned for the latest news on the upcoming launch of SES’s next four O3b satellites!
