Inside OneWeb’s Global Internet Play: How This Satellite Network Is Quietly Disrupting Starlink’s Orbit

Inside OneWeb’s Global Internet Play: How This Satellite Network Is Quietly Disrupting Starlink’s Orbit

OneWeb’s first-generation constellation comprises 648 LEO satellites at about 1,200 km altitude, each ~150 kg, using Ku-band for user links and Ka-band for gateways, with 16 spot beams and no inter-satellite laser links, delivering up to 7.2 Gbps per satellite. By late 2021, OneWeb achieved partial service in high-latitude regions, focusing on the Arctic, Northern Europe, Greenland, and Alaska. On March 25, 2023, the first-generation constellation reached 614 operational satellites, exceeding the minimum ~588 satellites required for global coverage, with 648 planned total. In September 2023, OneWeb merged with France’s Eutelsat to form Eutelsat OneWeb, making Eutelsat the 100% owner
