Mobile Backhaul

Introducing the world’s first 5G-ready satellite backhaul service

Beyond terrestrial: unlock the opportunities

Most mobile base stations are connected by fibre or microwave. But, in mountainous regions, low-density villages, or for remote industry, the economics of investing in this infrastructure are risky.

Our managed mobile backhaul service uses satellite to connect your core network with hard-to-reach locations – from a single site to multi-tower aggregation. O3b mPOWER, the most advanced addition to our multi-orbit satellite fleet, means we are 5G-ready and can service any bandwidth need, from megabits to gigabits.
