SES has launched and made operational its second-generation O3b mPOWER system, a medium Earth orbit network designed to deliver global high-performance connectivity.
The new system uses fully shapeable, steerable spot beams and adaptive resource-control software to allocate bandwidth and power in real time, aiming to improve speed, reliability and network efficiency.
SES said the platform offers about 150-millisecond predictable latency and multi-gigabit throughput per terminal, targeting cloud applications and other latency-sensitive uses.
The launch fits a broader industry push toward higher-throughput satellite broadband; a market report in the release projects satellite internet will reach $12.69 billion by 2030, growing at a 14.4% CAGR.
