High-Performance Connectivity Beyond Terrestrial Networks
QSAT delivers SES O3b satellite connectivity solutions for enterprises, service providers and organizations operating in remote, offshore and infrastructure-critical environments.
Using Medium Earth Orbit satellite technology, O3b connectivity can support high-throughput communications for applications that require reliable, scalable and lower-latency satellite connectivity. QSAT helps organizations evaluate, design and integrate satellite connectivity into wider enterprise and operational network environments.
Enterprise Connectivity Beyond the Reach of Terrestrial Networks
Organizations increasingly depend on high-performance connectivity to access cloud platforms, enterprise applications, collaboration tools and operational systems.
However, reliable terrestrial connectivity is not always available.
SES O3b satellite connectivity can provide an additional option for organizations operating across remote locations, offshore environments and infrastructure where conventional networks are limited or unavailable.
High-Throughput Connectivity
Support bandwidth-intensive enterprise and operational applications.
Lower-Latency Satellite Connectivity
MEO satellite architecture designed to reduce latency compared with traditional GEO satellite systems.
Enterprise Integration
Integrate satellite connectivity with cloud, WAN, security and enterprise infrastructure.
Operational Reach
Extend connectivity to remote, offshore and challenging environments.
Medium Earth Orbit Connectivity for High-Performance Applications
SES O3b uses Medium Earth Orbit satellite technology to deliver high-throughput connectivity for organizations requiring more than traditional satellite communications.
MEO satellites operate at a lower altitude than traditional geostationary satellites, helping reduce communication distance and latency.
This makes MEO connectivity suitable for a range of enterprise, cloud, telecom and operational applications where network performance is important. Each orbit has different technical and operational advantages — the right answer depends on the location, application and resilience requirements rather than a single technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
SES O3b is a Medium Earth Orbit satellite connectivity service used to deliver high-throughput communications to organizations operating in locations where terrestrial connectivity is limited, unavailable or insufficient for the applications in use.
MEO satellite connectivity uses satellites positioned between traditional geostationary satellites and low earth orbit constellations. The lower orbital altitude compared with GEO helps reduce signal travel distance, which can support lower-latency and high-capacity connectivity.
GEO satellites operate at a high altitude and provide broad, established coverage. MEO operates at a lower altitude and is often used where high throughput with reduced latency is important. LEO constellations operate closest to Earth and are commonly used for low-latency broadband. Each orbit has different technical and operational characteristics, and the appropriate choice depends on requirements.
O3b connectivity is commonly considered for enterprise WAN extension, cloud access, telecom and network backhaul, offshore and remote operational sites, data transfer, video communications and temporary high-capacity deployments.
Yes. MEO connectivity can be integrated behind an enterprise network and security layer so that remote locations access cloud platforms, enterprise applications and collaboration tools in the same way as other connected sites.
MEO connectivity is frequently evaluated for offshore platforms, energy operations and remote industrial facilities where operational and business applications require higher-capacity connectivity than traditional satellite services provide.
Satellite connectivity can extend network services to locations beyond fiber coverage, and is often evaluated for remote backhaul, temporary network expansion, distributed operational sites and infrastructure resilience.
Yes. Satellite links are typically terminated into the same routing, SD-WAN, firewall and monitoring environment used for terrestrial circuits, so traffic can be steered according to application requirements and link availability.
Satellite connectivity provides a communications path that does not depend on local terrestrial infrastructure, which makes it a common component of business continuity and resilience architectures.
They can. Many organizations combine orbits and terrestrial services within a single architecture so that coverage, capacity, latency, resilience and cost characteristics are matched to different applications and locations.
QSAT works with organizations to assess connectivity requirements, evaluate terrestrial and satellite options, design an appropriate MEO or multi-orbit architecture, and support deployment and integration with existing network, cloud and security infrastructure.
