Airbus-designed OneWeb satellites are currently being produced at the Airbus OneWeb Satellites facility in Florida, USA.
Airbus and OneWeb plan to develop a complete range of secure services dedicated to the specific needs of armed forces for operations on land, at sea, and in the air.
Airbus will offer new communication services using the OneWeb constellation to select European and UK armed forces and civil protection and security forces from the end of 2021.
OneWeb planned to start Gen 2 planning in 2022 and to build Gen 2 in the United Kingdom by 2024–25.
Eutelsat invested $550,000,000 into OneWeb in April 2021 and later increased its stake in OneWeb by a further $165,000,000.
The Strategic Transaction Award recognized a deal in April 2021 in which French satellite operator Eutelsat invested $550,000,000 into OneWeb and later increased its stake by a further $165,000,000.
OneWeb has deployed more than half of its planned 648-satellite broadband constellation ahead of global services next year.
OneWeb, Starlink, Gwo Wang, Kuiper, and Lightspeed will account for only 10% of satellite manufacturing and launch revenues.
OneWeb, Starlink, Gwo Wang, Kuiper, and Lightspeed will represent 58% of the 17,000 satellites to be launched.
In August, Hanwha purchased an 8.8 percent stake in OneWeb for $300,000,000 and secured a seat on OneWeb’s board of directors.
Kymeta and OneWeb aimed to launch their new jointly developed user terminal solution for purchase by the third quarter of 2022.
The Kymeta u8 flat panel antenna technology interoperates with the OneWeb LEO satellite constellation and supports Communication on the Pause and future Communications on the Move for military, government, first responder, maritime, enterprise, and other commercial customers.
Kymeta and OneWeb previously collaborated on a pilot program in Toulouse, France to test and demonstrate a LEO-GEO capable land flat panel user terminal.
Under the joint development agreement, engineering teams from OneWeb and Kymeta will collaborate to ensure the terminal meets the technical specifications required for compatibility with the OneWeb network.
Pairing the Kymeta u8 antenna with the OneWeb LEO network is intended to provide governments, businesses, and communities with high-throughput and low-latency communication services at competitive prices.
OneWeb currently operates 358 satellites of a planned 648-satellite constellation following its latest launch on 2021-10-14.
OneWeb aims to begin commercial services in the upper part of the Northern Hemisphere 2021-12 and to deploy some 290 remaining satellites before the end of 2022 to provide global connectivity services.
Kymeta partnered with OneWeb on 2021-12-01 to jointly develop a flat panel, electronically steered user terminal for stationary land applications on OneWeb’s low Earth orbit broadband network.
