British company OneWeb recently launched 34 satellites into orbit from a spaceport in Kazakhstan, bringing the total number of satellites in orbit to 322. The satellites are intended to provide high-speed internet coverage in areas underserved by traditional methods. It is part of a new wave of technologies that could help bridge the digital divide.
“Satellites can provide a solution for people living in remote areas where broadband infrastructure is lacking, providing essential connectivity to millions of people,” Mark Buell, vice president of the nonprofit Internet Society, told Lifewire in an email interview.
According to OneWeb, the recent launch is the first phase in a plan to build a constellation of 648 satellites that will deliver high-speed, low-latency global connectivity. The remote areas the satellites will cover include parts of the Arctic that lack high-speed internet access.
