[ About O3b Networks Ltd ]
The O3b Networks system will offer fiber performance over satellite, at prices comparable to fiber in developed regions. By allowing direct connection to core networks and 3G Cellular/WiMAX towers, the O3b Networks system will completely change the economics of telecommunications infrastructure in the world's fastest-growing markets for communications services.
With its system deployment scheduled for late 2010, O3b Networks will bridge the digital divide by building a global Internet backbone for telcos and ISPs in emerging markets. The Company is committed to connecting the networks of developed countries with the "other three billion" people who have limited Internet access, hence the name O3b. With investment and operational support from some of the world's largest communications and finance companies, O3b Networks is now building a distribution network to serve a population of several billion consumers and businesses in more than 150 countries. O3b Networks' headquarters are in St. John, Jersey, Channel Islands. Ground systems and technical development are managed through its wholly owned subsidiary in Englewood, Colorado.
