The system will allow telecommunications companies, mobile network operators, governments, enterprises, aircraft and ship operators, and more, to connect with their core network or extend cloud access worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boeing is currently building the first seven O3b mPOWER satellites for SES. The first set of satellites will be launched in late 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SES\u2019 O3b mPOWER software-defined satellites are based on Boeing\u2019s multi-orbit 702X satellite portfolio, which employs Boeing\u2019s most advanced digital payload to date. The O3b mPOWER satellite constellation will integrate with existing network architectures to deliver global, end-to-end managed network services on land, sea and in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Boeing and SES have agreed to collaborate to develop commercially-based service offerings and capabilities that can be derived from current and future SES MEO satellites. Working together, the companies will develop resilient, interoperable MILSATCOM-COMSATCOM architectures to provide U.S. and other government users with robust connectivity across mission domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 702X is a family of software-defined satellites that incorporates digital processors, advanced thermal management, optimized manufacturing technologies and simplified ground resource management tools. With thousands of beams that are formed in real time and can be pointed and shaped where needed, 702X allows operators the flexibility to specifically distribute power and bandwidth among users, maximizing useable capacity and eliminating wasted energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Boeing-702x-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Boeing-702x-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Boeing-702x-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Boeing-702x-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Boeing-702x-1536x1150.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Boeing-702x-2048x1534.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boeing [NYSE: BA] has received a contract to build four additional 702X satellites from SES as the leading global content connectivity provider  increases the number of O3b mPOWER satellites in its Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) to 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8458,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10172,4510,799,5637,8222,10339,5992,2203,4957,5676,8651,10674,5446,10169,10176,1397,10195,10171,868],"tags":[6847,5393,3974,2593,539,464,2740,41,3798,1318,3308,2830,3838,79,430,1268,2559,2907,4889,2964,4877,4634,1483,1001,1915,688,10911,5363,1248,3507,889,2917,12187,1936,412,12185,2845,10138,4517,1685,4515,1212,7895,4511,978,1055,987,12186,3774,937,742,12188,1691,1658,839],"class_list":["post-8457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aerospace","category-aerospace-news","category-boeing-news","category-business-news","category-consumer-news","category-e-commerce","category-economic-news","category-finance-news","category-global-politics","category-international-news","category-joint-venture-news","category-military","category-military-news","category-news","category-stock-news-2","category-stock-news","category-transport","category-transportation","category-transportation-news","tag-702x","tag-access","tag-additional","tag-advanced","tag-air","tag-aircraft","tag-architecture","tag-boeing","tag-build","tag-building","tag-cloud","tag-companies","tag-connectivity","tag-constellation","tag-contract","tag-defense","tag-deliver","tag-digital","tag-earth","tag-enhanced","tag-enterprises","tag-expanded","tag-fleet","tag-force","tag-global","tag-government","tag-governments","tag-land","tag-manufacturing","tag-medium","tag-military","tag-mobile","tag-mpower","tag-network","tag-news","tag-o3b","tag-operators","tag-optimized","tag-orbit","tag-passenger","tag-payload","tag-railroad","tag-received","tag-satellites","tag-sea","tag-service","tag-services","tag-ses","tag-ship","tag-space","tag-technologies","tag-telecommunications","tag-transport","tag-transportation","tag-worldwide"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8457"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8459,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8457\/revisions\/8459"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
