Low Earth orbit satellites to complement Orange Business’ portfolio
OneWeb, the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite company, and Orange have signed a distribution agreement to expand connectivity services across Europe, Africa, Latin America and other global regions.
The plan is that with this partnership, Orange will offer “enriched connectivity” to enterprise customers and other telcos in different regions of the world by integrating OneWeb’s LEO technology.
This technology will complement existing services and enable connection to hard-to-reach areas with “high-quality, low latency” experience that will enable new applications and OTT services.
Other benefits include increased resilience and greater geographical reach for enterprise solutions and backhauling in remote locations across Europe, Latin America, Africa and beyond.
With OneWeb’s technology Orange offers a range of multi-orbital solutions complementing our 40 years of experience in satellite connectivity to benefit small, medium and large enterprises, telco operators, and ISPs.
Anne-Marie Thiollet, Deputy Executive Vice President Products and Marketing, Orange Business,comments, “Our customers ranging from multi-nationals, enterprises, governments to NGOs will have access to OneWeb’s pioneering satellite network. This…will efficiently complement Orange Business’s existing portfolio to keep connecting our customers to their applications anytime, anywhere, with the right quality of service to meet their business requirements”.
In its predictions for 2023 and beyond, CCS Insights highlighted the opportunity for the first operator that could truly claim total global coverage. Orange is clearly staking its claim.
