Today we hear a lot about resilience and sovereign systems. These are key aspects of satellite communications, but another feature is vitally important, latency.

Low latency enables diverse, spatially separated military platforms to process data in the cloud extending capabilities further than previously possible.

This presentation identifies the resilience and sovereign features of SES’s next-generation MEO communications system, O3b mPOWER, and specifically the high throughput and low latency features.

Such features join the dots in tackling hypersonic threats and other threats where GEO and LEO systems can be restricted by pure physics, and complexity in a hostile environment.
