The company has four satellites in orbit and plans to launch another four next month.
But O3b s satellites already offer a superior and cheaper way to deliver high-speed Internet than conventional satellite services.
Satellite Internet is provided traditionally by geostationary satellites that stay over a given point On earth. These satellites orbit at 35000 kilometers often adding a 600 millisecond delay to the radio signals going back and forth.
Such a delay is considered generally excessive for business use. O3b satellites orbit at a relatively low altitude of about 8000 kilometers and the company says this means a more-tolerable 150-millisecond delay coverage to latitudes up to 45 degrees north

though, because it costs $60 million and $70 million to launch a satellite, and there always a decent chance that the payload will be lost to an accident.
Beaming data from a satellite is done by radio, and is limited by the available spectrum, as well as the amount of power a satellite can get from its solar panels.
Most communications satellites have data-transfer speeds of around a gigabit per second, compared to several terabits per second for the fastest fiber.
For one thing, satellite technology has advanced, bringing the cost of deployment down significantly. Toaster-sized microsatellites can be launched dozens at a time
