OneWeb Satellite

Currently the connectivity is accessible in all areas over 50 degrees latitude. Latency is less than 50 milliseconds, and speeds are 100 Mbps or more. 

Operating from the epicentre of the global communications sphere, OneWeb is pioneering the construction of a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network. The company's goal is to deliver high-speed internet connectivity, expected to reach up to 200 Mbps, to every corner of the globe, including the remotest regions.

Major investments from the UK government and Bharti Global, each contributing $500 million, along with funding from SoftBank, underscore OneWeb's financial foundation. In a landmark decision in July 2022, OneWeb announced its merger with France's leading satellite operations company, Eutelsat. This merger, expected to be concluded by mid-2023, will unite Eutelsat's 36 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and OneWeb's expanding LEO satellite constellation, marking the first-ever amalgamation of LEO and GEO satellites.

As of January 2023, OneWeb had successfully deployed 542 satellites, with further launches following that period, aiming towards a total constellation of 648 satellites. At the helm of the company is CEO Neil Masterson, who joined OneWeb in October 2020, bringing his extensive experience as a former executive and co-COO at Thomson Reuters.

OneWeb's focus is on providing internet services to government and military infrastructure, businesses, and governmental entities. Rather than directly selling satellite internet to consumers, OneWeb is forging alliances with telecom companies, broadband providers, and other organisations that offer internet services.

We are providing networking solutions tailored to any need, at any level, replacing one-size-fits-all connectivity with a full spectrum of tailored, customizable broadband channels. Our high throughput, low-latency global network is delivering unprecedented flexibility, lowering the barriers to high quality maritime connectivity, minimizing environmental impact, and enabling the fleets of the future.

OneWeb for Aviation
OneWeb’s vision-led global communications network provides internet access everywhere, creating new Use Cases and opportunities for both business and commercial aviation our Business jet passengers consider high performance bandwidth, speed, and coverage area of onboard connectivity essential for inflight office and travel time. Commercial airlines want to provide ever improving service quality and incremental value to reflect loyalty. Passengers boarding commercial airlines with mobile devices switched on want a reliable, safe, fiber-like internet experience in the sky for seamless and uninterrupted access to their emails, social media networks, online games or apps.

OneWeb for Enterprise
Enterprise information systems and business functions that once were relatively constant are becoming more agile as organisations turn to more dynamic, digitally-powered, cloud-enabled applications to accelerate their IT delivery. OneWeb’s connectivity will enable this digitalization process within the Enterprise sector, streamlining ISP solutions with low latency, secure fiber-like connectivity everywhere that offers a competitive advantage, more intelligent interactions, a more skilled and connected future workforce, and operational capability across a wider geographical region

OneWeb for Government
OneWeb global communications network will deliver the levels of reliable and secure throughput that government applications require. Our high-speed, low latency creates new Use Cases that will enhance decision-making and security to connect those who protect. These include breakthroughs in the commercial mobile communications sector such as increased GPS capability, improved persistent FMV (Full-Motion Video) relay for unmanned aircraft systems, and increased reliance on mobile adhoc networks. OneWeb’s global network also creates new solutions for civil government applications such as border forces, maritime security, disaster management and recovery, and government-funded non-profit social initiatives in areas such as education.
