OneWeb and Connecta Satellite sign distribution partnership agreement for USA

OneWeb, the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications company, and Connecta Satellite Solutions, a leading distributor of satellite connectivity solutions to large enterprises and governments in North America, announced today that they have signed a Distribution Partnership Agreement to deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity across the United States and Caribbean territories.

Under this partnership, Connecta will be selling a full suite of OneWeb-powered connectivity solutions to enterprise and government customers in these regions. These high-speed, low-latency offerings made possible by OneWeb’s LEO technology will complement, enhance, and extend existing Connecta services and enable low-latency connectivity solutions.

Combining OneWeb’s resilient, secure, high-performance connectivity with Connecta’s commitment to end-to-end service excellence will ensure that customers receive the best satellite connectivity experience coupled with the best customer service experience. The technology will open new opportunities for education, healthcare, and economic development, with the fast connection speeds and low latency of LEO satellites transforming connectivity in areas where terrestrial services are not currently available.

Connecta Satellite Solutions CEO Marlos Barbosa said, “We are thrilled to enter into this partnership with OneWeb, a pioneer in low Earth orbit satellite communications. This collaboration will enable us to offer our customers high-speed, low-latency connectivity solutions that will drive innovation and economic growth in underserved areas. We look forward to working closely with OneWeb to provide exceptional service and expand the reach of satellite connectivity throughout the country.”

Stephen Beynon, OneWeb’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We are excited to unleash the full power of low-latency, high-performance satellite connectivity in partnership with Connecta Satellite Solutions, a highly respected leader in connectivity across large enterprises and governments in North America. We thank Connecta and look forward to continuing to help them connect consumers, businesses and governments throughout the US and Caribbean.”

This is a significant step in OneWeb’s ongoing mission to bridge the digital divide. As a wholesale connectivity provider, OneWeb partners with internet service providers, telecommunication companies and community leaders who are seeking to deliver broadband services to unconnected, unserved and underserved areas.

This agreement comes following the completion of OneWeb’s global constellation earlier this year, as the business nears full global connectivity. BCS Bureau
