“Low latency really matters within the #offshoreindustry,” said Celeste. “Our mission is to transform connectivity. To provide enterprise-grade connectivity at sea to support accelerated #digitalisation within the industry.”Speaking on a @RivieraMaritimeMedia panel recently, OneWeb’s Celeste Endrino-Cowley explained how low earth orbit (LEO) satellites are positioned to offer the #maritime and #offshore industries high-speed communications and #connectivity.https://twitter.com/OneWeb/status/1510949310875279362
Most off-shore is in shallow water near the coast. Also, the high altitude of OneWeb means you can be pretty far from the Gateway and still get a signal (farther than Starlink v1.0).

I know both of those qualitatively, but was wondering if anyone has run the numbers quantitatively yet. Like, has anyone had enough spare time to take a map of all current or planned gateways, calculated how far you can be from a gateway and still get a good consistent signal (and how far you can be to at least get intermittent signals) and then plotted that on a map to see where is covered and where isn't?~Jon
OneWeb agrees satellite launch programme with New Space IndiaHistoric contract includes launches of OneWeb satellites from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, with the first anticipated for later in 2022. OneWeb remains on track for developing its satellite constellation network, delivering industry-grade secure connectivity.London, U.K., 20 April, 2022 – OneWeb, the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications company, announced today that the company and New Space India Limited, the commercial arm of the Indian Space Research Organisation, have entered into an agreement that will help ensure OneWeb completes its satellite launch programme. The first launch with New Space India is anticipated in 2022 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota. The launches will add to OneWeb’s total in-orbit constellation of 428 satellites, 66 per cent of the planned total fleet, to build a global network that will deliver high-speed, low-latency connectivity. Sunil Bharti Mittal, OneWeb Executive Chairman, said: “This is yet another historic day for collaboration in space, thanks to the shared ambition and vision of New Space India and OneWeb. This most recent agreement on launch plans adds considerable momentum to the development of OneWeb’s network, as we work together across the space industry toward our common goal of connecting communities globally."This launch contract follows a separate agreement between OneWeb and SpaceX to enable the company to resume satellite launches, announced in March 2022. OneWeb has already activated service with its network at the 50th parallel and above, as demand for the company’s broadband connectivity services continues to grow from multiple sectors and markets.Other terms of the agreement with New Space India are confidential.
