O3b mPOWER: TECHNOLOGY
The innovation driving unparalleled flexibility, performance, and scale
Designed for today’s data
O3b mPOWER is specifically designed for a data-dependent world. Building on the commercial success of our current O3b MEO system, we’ve harnessed innovations in space, ground, and software systems to deliver unparalleled flexibility, performance, and scale.
The systems
Space systems
Designed with Boeing, software-defined satellites respond dynamically to user demand. Electronically steered phased-array antennas support thousands of beams per satellite, each scaling from 40Mbps to 10Gbps. The constellation’s multi-terabit capacity means it is ready for tomorrow’s data needs.
Ground systems
We constantly innovate with our ground technology partners to set new standards of performance and reliability. New terminal systems enable bandwidth with a wide variety of antenna sizes and form factors. Meanwhile, users can choose to land traffic at a managed or private gateway, or a cloud data centre.
Software systems
The Adaptive Resource Control (ARC) system is your network’s control centre, synchronising space and ground systems to allocate bandwidth when and where needed. It delivers traffic via the most efficient route, including (when needed) to our next generation of GEO satellites for added resilience.
What would you do with unlimited scale and performance, anywhere in the world?
what makes O3b mPOWER different and better
What makes O3b mPOWER unique
Predictable low latency
Our intentional balance of global coverage and orbital distance enable the most reliable non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) system, optimized to reduce jitter and packet loss.
Unprecedented flexibility
O3b mPOWER drives efficiency in your network and helps reduce costs. Flex bandwidth between sites when and where needed and direct traffic via the most efficient route.
Industry leading scale
O3b mPOWER scales up to multiple gigabits per second per terminal, and can even scale the return path to match or even exceed the forward path, a first in satellite communications. Keep up with the global rise in demand for upload speed.
