O3b Networks
open-in-new
<p>O3b Networks Ltd. was a network communications service provider building and operating a <a href="/facts/Medium_Earth_orbit/7Qmz5XxG">medium Earth orbit</a> (MEO) <a href="/facts/Satellite_constellation/mbTpGjbg">satellite constellation</a> primarily intended to provide voice and data communications to <a href="/facts/Mobile_operator/6Tt5J4TF">mobile operators</a> and <a href="/facts/Internet_service_provider/dUacAxef">Internet service providers</a>. O3b Networks became a wholly owned subsidiary of <a href="/facts/SES_(company)/rmak3edy">SES</a> in 2016 and the operator name was subsequently dropped in favour of <a href="/facts/SES_(company)/rmak3edy">SES Networks</a>, a division of SES. The <a href="/facts/O3b/5uhXa53e">satellites</a> themselves, now part of the <a href="/facts/SES_(company)/rmak3edy">SES fleet</a>, continue to use the O3b name. </p>
