– The 7th and 8th O3b mPOWER satellites will join the first six in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) where they are providing high-speed connectivity to users around the world.
– The satellites’ unique technology enables a wide range of applications, providing adaptable, high-speed connectivity to users on land, sea and air.
boeing [NYSE: BA] The teams have successfully delivered the 7th and 8th O3b mPOWER satellites to SES. These satellites, carrying Boeing’s advanced software-defined communications payload, are being transported to Cape Canaveral for a planned launch in December.
“We have worked closely with SES since the beginning of this program, and we have moved quickly to build the latest pair of satellites,” said Michelle Parker, vice president of Boeing Space Mission Systems. “We look forward to seeing the satellites enter service and continue to impress SES users.”
The O3b mPOWER satellites feature Boeing’s first-of-its-kind software-driven integrated payload array technology, providing adaptive connectivity and high-frequency reuse, a metric used to measure efficiency.
“With our O3b mPOWER system now operational, we are looking forward to bringing these two additional satellites into orbit and strengthening our constellation to provide the high-quality connectivity services our customers need,” said Milton Torres, CTO of SES. Excited.” “We are proud of the work our SES team has done with Boeing and other technology partners in the space and ground sectors to bring the unique capabilities of our O3b mPOWER system online.”
With the capacity to generate over 5,000 fully steerable beams, the satellites provide unparalleled flexibility, allowing SES to dynamically allocate bandwidth and power to specific areas or customers as needed. This means users can get fast, reliable Internet whether they’re on land, at sea or in the air, enabling seamless connectivity for applications like video streaming, remote work and critical enterprise operations.
Boeing continues production, integration and testing of the remaining O3b mPOWER satellites, with the next three planned to be delivered in the first half of 2025.
