previous communications satellites) of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to deliver broadband internet connectivity primarily. One of the first was OneWeb, followed by SpaceX, Amazon, and a whole host of others in the wings. Before we delve into the new LEO satellite constellations, let’s touch on the differences between the three types of satellite orbits and how each is used, as shown in the table on page 22. Now we can touch on some of the key announced mega constellation projects, all of which will be in LEO orbit with a few exceptions.

ONEWEB (AND THEIR PARTNER IRIDIUM) OneWeb (previously known as WorldVu) has announced an initial 650-satellite constellation to provide global satellite Internet broadband services. The company is based in London, UK, and is backed by a diverse set of investors including Softbank (which has the most substantial ownership stake), Airbus, Virgin Group, Intelsat and Qualcomm. The first six satellites were launched in early 2019, and they plan to begin launching 30+ satellites per month starting in December of this year, to provide partial services in late 2020 and global coverage in 2021, with a constellation of up to 1,980 satellites. In July of this year, OneWeb said that it had completed a wide-ranging test of its six satellites in Low Earth Orbit, achieving speeds of more than 400 Mbps which enabled the fastest real-time video streaming in Full HD from Space with an average latency of 32 milliseconds. These tests were conducted in Seoul, South Korea in partnership with Intellian, the developer and manufacturer of OneWeb user terminals and SatixFy, developer and manufacturer of the 125 MHz SCPC test modem. OneWeb and Iridium Communications announced
they have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work together toward a combined service offering in Sept 2019, which may provide them with a competitive boost over its rivals. This pooled service offering would be designed to bundle their different networks to customers (Iridium provides L-band services, and OneWeb has a Ku-band service, which appeals to different use cases). This will also eventually permit combined equipment to be used to work with either network. According to OneWeb’s website, their service will create
new opportunities for both business and commercial aviation (among other business niches) providing a reliable, safe, fiber-like internet experience in the sky for uninterrupted access to email, social media, and online games. According to a published interview with Ben Griffin, OneWeb’s Commercial Aviation VP, he stated that “OneWeb’s Aviation offering is a departure from previous
