3b Networks

03b Advantage

Speed of Fiber, Reach of Satellite.

Speed

1 Mbps through 10 Gbps.

Low Latency

Faster, snappier web for your customers. Real-time, lag-free video conferencing. Full-speed IP over VPN. WebOS like Google doc’s and spreadsheets, and clearer more natural voice communications.

Latency = Delay.

O3b Networks' system virtually eliminates the delay of standard GEO satellites by reducing the round-trip transmission time from over ½ second to just 1/10 of a second. The reduced round-trip delay creates a web experience closer to terrestrial systems such as DSL or Optical Fiber.

Coverage

With O3b Networks, you can provision fiber-quality backhaul virtually anywhere you like with no need for digging or building extensive terrestrial backhaul networks.

Save your Capex

With the massive growth of Internet and voice demands in emerging markets, many carriers are faced with the proposition of having to build their own fiber networks for backhaul. This expensive, time-consuming project is needed because these markets lack a carriers’ carrier which can supply core backhaul inter-carrier connectivity. O3b Networks solves this problem with direct connectivity and no fiber build.

If your backhaul is operating:

• Single String (only a single fiber cable with no redundancy)
  
  
• Long String (long distances, multiple hops to a major exchange, subject to geo-political risks)
  
  
• Constrained (using Geo-Satellite with limited growth capacity and high latency)
  
  
• Second to Monopoly (Backhaul access only comes from a monopoly carrier)

Until now your only solution for true carrier-class access was to lay new fiber. This is an expensive time-consuming process requiring permits, approvals and tremendous amounts of capital expenditures. Now you can take the time, money and energy your management team would have devoted to your backhaul problem and apply it to the front end of your business, building out your local penetration and maintaining and acquiring customers.

Scalability

A minimum constellation of five satellites is needed to cover 360 degrees over the Earth. O3b Networks’ initial launch phase will exceed this number by more than two satellites. As demand rises, new satellites will be launched to increase network capacity. New satellites cost much less than submarine cable, without being restricted to a landing station at the beach. The O3b Networks satellites can bring gigabits of bandwidth directly to where it is needed.

Simplicity

Once you have contracted for the capacity, we will ensure your ground terminal is installed before launch, and have you up and running immediately after. All you do is plug in the Ethernet cable.

 

Redundancy and Reliability

Carrier Class requires a redundant system. Multiple paths and redundant components. O3b’s self-healing network is designed with redundancy at every point in the network. The entire system is designed as a RAID (redundant array of independent devices). Each satellite has both internal and external redundancy. Losses of components or even entire satellites are automatically compensated for. From your network, your links have multiple paths, whether back to an O3b Gateway with our Fi2 fully terminated services, or from any point to any point you decide.

Safety

Connectivity is the lifeblood of an economy. O3b Networks can ensure the security of your connection without the vulnerability of fiber.
