REVOLUTIONISING
GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS
WORLDWIDE
Civilian and military government entities are
embracing digitalisation.

O3b mPOWER provides As government entities transition

their operations to adopt the latest
terabit-level scale, technological developments—including
edge computing and cloud-based
delivering multi-gigabit applications—they need to augment
links virtually anywhere their existing networks with additional
terminals and bandwidth, and add
on Earth. redundant communications paths to
achieve the necessary flexibility, resilience,
and redundancy. With the industry’s
only multi-orbit and multi-band satellite
network, we have the expertise to
address the entire range of government
communications requirements. Building
on our market-leading O3b MEO
constellation—the industry’s first proven
non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO)
system—O3b mPOWER provides
terabit-level scale, delivering multi-gigabit
links virtually anywhere on Earth. The
system offers a broad range of innovative
capabilities that facilitate the deployment
of critical communications applications,
including those that have not been
permitted to operate via commercial
satellite networks.

HIGH PERFORMANCE FOR
CLOUD OPTIMISED APPLICATIONS
O3b mPOWER enables the provisioning
of unprecedented low-latency, high-
throughput connectivity around the
world. The ability to selectively target
both individual endpoints and combined
areas with multiple endpoints, together
with greatly increased data rates, gives
government entities the freedom to
augment their existing networks, and
deploy new classes of applications
RETURN CAPACITY ENABLES SCALE FOR ISR
Multi-sensor airborne platforms are
vital to today’s Intelligence, Surveillance,
and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions,
accomplishing a wide range of
operational objectives ideally in a single
sortie. ISR assets gather a massive range
and volume of data requiring return
capacity of tens to hundreds of megabits
per second to government gateways
where they can be quickly processed
and acted upon. Innovative electronically
RAPID RESPONSE FOR FLEXIBLE MOBILE AND
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
Time is of the essence when responding
to disaster events or tactical missions.
O3b mPOWER’s ability to activate
capacity quickly when and where needed
provides the flexibility to turn up services
on demand to meet rapidly changing
requirements. A variety of terminal
options support fast delivery and setup
for short-term operations and offer many
sizes to fit throughput and mobility
and services. O3b mPOWER makes it
possible to seamlessly run cloud-enabled
applications at the edge of the network.
This brings the benefits of enhanced
government operations, large-scale
networking, and the availability of big-
data analytics to remote deployments in
the same way they are currently available
at central facilities.
steerable arrays (ESAs) within
O3b mPOWER and small airborne
terminals support dynamic tracking and
control of forward and return links with
throughput capacity that exceeds ISR
requirements today, with confidence
for future needs. This, along with the
flexibility to locate gateways anywhere,
and deliver near real-time analysis and
response ensures mission success with
optimised resources.
needs. Whether your customer is in the
air, on a ship, or in a fixed enterprise,
O3b mPOWER creates new opportunities
for you to offer high-capacity network
services (including cloud-optimised
services) that until now, were not possible
over satellite systems, and delivers
the scalability to meet demand well into
the future.
