O3b Signs
Capacity Deal with Sky Fiber Corporation
O3b Networks Limited, has signed a
multi-year, multi-million dollar reseller
agreement with Sky Fiber, one of Asia’s few
managed service providers delivering turn-key,
satellite-based capacity and connectivity
solutions. This agreement will enable Sky Fiber
to supply fiber-like quality telecommunication
connectivity to the underserved and developing
markets of South East Asia.
This multi-year agreement will enable Sky
Fiber to provide Mobile/Wireless Backhaul, IP
Trunking and Oil & Gas solutions to its
customers. This deal establishes a partnership
with the ability to deliver capacity and
connectivity, at guaranteed QoS service levels
and with transmission latency four times lower
than previously possible.
“We are thrilled to be part of the O3b
revolution and to offer this unique and cost
effective service solution to our market. The
incredible growth in demand for mobile internet
data in the region is creating a vacuum in
mobile backhaul for which the O3b Networks
satellite constellation offers the most elegant
solution. In addition to the backhaul demand,
off-shore oil and gas facilities remain
underserved and at the same time their
requirements for reliable communications
continues to grow at a rapid rate. We combine
Mobile/Wireless Backhaul and IP Trunking to
offer South East Asia connectivity turn-key
options - at a reduced price. The end result
will be an enhanced internet user experience,
extended education, and improved off-shore
operational efficiencies - all contributing to
the economic growth of the region,” said Tom
van der Heyden, Chief Executive Officer, Sky
Fiber Corporation.
“We are pleased to announce our first deal in
South East Asia and to add Sky Fiber to the
increasing list of resellers in our key markets.
O3b now has contracts in Africa, Asia, Middle
East and the Pacifics, demonstrating that we are
a truly global company. We are excited to see
the benefit our unique Medium Earth Orbit (MEO)
satellite capacity will have on the economic
growth in South East Asia and look forward to
supporting Sky Fiber in expanding their regional
service offering,” said John Finney, Chief
Commercial Officer, O3b
