OneWeb lofts last batch of satellites to enable global internet service
Satellite comms operator OneWeb says its constellation is complete, with the latest launch bringing its total of low Earth orbit satellites to 618, although it will add further launches for resiliency and redundancy.
This is the third blast off for OneWeb hardware this year and its 18th in total, and sets the company up for delivery of an internet service with global coverage scheduled before the end of 2023. OneWeb currently offers connectivity in some regions north of 50 degrees latitude, including the UK and Northern Europe, Alaska, Canada and Greenland.
In particular, OneWeb has committed to provide connectivity across India as a result of its contract with NSIL, and claimed it will provide internet access to enterprises, towns, villages, municipalities and schools in even the most remote areas of the country. However the two companies are not necessarily direct rivals, at least not yet, as OneWeb has so far aimed at government and business customers, while Starlink has largely targeted individuals and those living in regions poorly served by terrestrial networks.
