2. Fiber Speed. Satellite ReachDelivered! 2 3. Company Overview
What we do 3 O3b has deployed a next generation satellite
constellation, delivering our customers superior, faster and more
affordable connectivity Initial constellation of MEO satellites
rotate the globe approximately four times a day Continuous
coverage: when one satellite leaves, another satellite takes over
without transmission interruption Ka-band beams of 700km diameter:
steerable around the globe, each delivering up to 1.2Gbps Each beam
is connected to a high throughput teleport, with multiple layers of
redundancy, ensuring operators have a reliable, high speed service
O3b is on schedule for full service launch in 2014 4. Company
Overview The O3b difference 4 High Bandwidth Scalableoptions from
100MB to 1.2GB High Speed 4 x faster than Geostationary satellites
Low Latency Roundtrip latency of less then 150ms enabling: Faster
interactivity Crystal clear voice and video quality Superior data
services Low Cost Up to 30% more affordable Flexibility Steerable
beams can be placed anywhere 45 degrees North/South of the Equator
MEO: 8,062km altitude 5. South Pacific Goes Live Telecom Cook
Islands Telecom Cook Islands became O3bs first commercial customer
on March 12, 2014 Rarotonga now has fiber-like internet speeds for
PCs and mobile devices Five more islands in Cook Groups coming
online Testing over TCI link showed data rates up to 1.6Gbps, with:
Latency below 150msec No packet loss due to jitter Flawless
execution of make-before-break handover O3b bringing up additional
customers rapidly Already passing traffic in Samoa, Papua New
Guinea and Dem. Republic of Congo 5 6. South Pacific Goes Live

humanitarian response Traditional satellites bring basic voice,
data, and video to responders but strain to meet new bandwidth and
latency requirements of cloud computing, interactive browsing,
advanced sensors/HD video, etc. These challenges grow as: Relief
activities scale up and transition to recovery operations The
communications needs of affected communities are addressed O3b
provides a new and unique service to meet the high quality
bandwidth needs of large scale, long term humanitarian response 7

recovering communities At a recovery event, O3b would contribute:
Up to 1 Gbps bandwidth Terminals and field support Enabling middle

future, together ICT continues to transform humanitarian response
Maximising the impact of wireless networks, the Cloud, and related
applications requires a dramatic increase in high quality, high
bandwidth connectivity With O3b, bandwidth and latency are no
longer a bottleneck to deploying state-of-the-art ICT solutions to
meet pressing humanitarian needs 11 Stop by our exhibit table for a
