9 OUR MANAGEMENT LAUNCH MANIFEST TEAM 2017 - 2021:

We have invested in a number of new satellites to be launched in the years to come to increase opportunities for both customers and end-users. In the fast-growing economies of Asia, Africa and Latin America, the new satellites will enable new service possibilities. In established markets, they will deliver to increasingly bandwidth-hungry services. The new satellites complement our expanding global fleet of more than 65 satellites and our network of teleports.

25 UNLEASHING THE POTENTIAL OF AN EMPOWERED WORLD

O3b mPOWER is a unique system of advanced communication The passion of the SES Networks team has always been to connect more people with more opportunities. We’ve proven that we can transform lives around the world, as well as the satellite industry itself. As part of SES, we have both the experience and the satellites and innovative ground infrastructure. Fully integrated with resources to continue delivering on this vision, and with O3b mPOWER we’re taking it to the next level. the existing SES fleet and extended through an ecosystem With O3b mPOWER, SES Networks is laying out its blueprint to transform the communications industry and unlock pent-up demand for high-growth data services. The original O3b MEO constellation was always envisioned as the first step in a bold and of partners, it will empower exponentially more people, strategic evolution in global data services, and now O3b mPOWER facilitates the rapid shift to a cloud-based world – anywhere in the world. communities and businesses with opportunities created by truly To meet the demand, O3b mPOWER scales the proven O3b model to deliver a ubiquitous, low-latency “virtual fibre” network to global cloud-scale connectivity. 30,000+ endpoints while seamlessly integrating with all other network infrastructure – from GEO satellites to fibre to microwave and new innovations from service and content providers aimed at connecting more people than ever.

O3b mPOWER challenges the conventional wisdom of what satellite services can do. As a high-powered, highly distributed network, O3b mPOWER has the ability to provide millions more people, businesses, content, cell towers and data centres with high-performance cloud-scale connectivity. As a result, it expands the role of satellite in an increasingly seamless global networking environment, and it opens a world of digital opportunity for people and organisations of all sizes regardless of their location or application requirements.

In short, O3b mPOWER is the highest-capacity, farthest-reaching, and most flexible satellite-based communications system ever. And it has the potential to empower more people with the opportunities that come with high-performance connectivity than ever before.
