Buenos Aires, July 3, 2024. ORBITH, Argentina's leading satellite Internet service provider, reported its entry into the LEO low orbit thanks to its strategic alliance with the global communications company Eutelsat OneWeb.

“We are very excited to announce the alliance with the Global Satellite Communications Company, which is part of Eutelsat Group, one of the world's leading space communications technology companies whose mission is aligned with that of ORBITH: to eliminate barriers to connectivity, taking into account that there are currently three billion people around the world who do not have access to reliable terrestrial infrastructure,” explained Pablo Mosiul, CEO of ORBITH.

"Broadband remains out of reach for too many people, especially in rural and remote areas. Lack of access prevents communities from realizing the social, economic and health benefits that connectivity can provide. Our network provides connectivity services to even the most remote areas, transforming the way people work, learn and live," said Juan Pablo Cofino, Regional Vice President of the Americas of Eutelsat OneWeb.  

“The alliance we have signed with Eutelsat OneWeb will allow us to offer our corporate clients faster and broader data-driven communications that drive performance, improve levels of employee well-being, increase supply chain efficiency and help meet compliance. sustainability and compliance requirements,” said Pablo Mosiul. And he added: “The Eutelsat OneWeb constellation is the only one that has characteristics that make it valid for large-scale corporate projects. With Eutelsat OneWeb we can not only provide internet services, but we can also provide companies with private data services, cybersecurity services, traffic prioritization and other functionalities that are critical in complex corporate projects.”

ORBITH Companies offers the following services:

Turnkey or customized connectivity solutions.

Instalation and maintenance

Personalized attention and local support 7x24

Internet Backup

Eutelsat OneWeb has a constellation of more than 600 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), technology that allows faster (lower latency) and higher capacity Internet access - ideal, for example, for communications voice and video -, in addition to the ability to provide global coverage. On the other hand, satellites in LEO orbit require a smaller power source, therefore, the equipment is much smaller, which allows the constellation to have redundancy, thus avoiding service failures in the event that any of the satellites stop operating normally. Likewise, a LEO network allows for omnidirectional antennas, meaning they have no moving parts, which extends their useful life and does not require maintenance of this equipment.

“Eutelsat OneWeb’s low-latency satellite connectivity, service level agreements (SLAs) and committed information rates (CIRs) are game-changers for carrier and enterprise operations. “We provide new solutions for cellular backhaul and create new opportunities that require more immediate access to data for decision making, cloud connectivity, real-time analysis and IoT applications,” highlighted Juan Pablo Cofino , adding: “The Eutelsat's OneWeb network and its ability to connect directly to other satellite operator networks, as well as cloud service providers, offers low latency, high performance and speeds that will advance 5G and data-based applications such as teleconferencing , financial services and collaborations in almost real time.”

“Through this alliance, ORBITH confirms its leadership as a high-speed satellite internet provider in the Argentine market in terms of subscribers, customer satisfaction and coverage. We offer the latest technology with local support and at very convenient prices,” said Pablo Mosiul, and concluded: “Like ORBITH, Eutelsat OneWeb is dedicated to responsible space practices based on the basis that space is a shared natural resource that, If used responsibly, it can help transform the way we live, work and connect. “We will continue working to continue being the most chosen Satellite Internet service in the country.”
