O3b Networks has signed a multi-year framework deal to provide IP trunking services to Bharti Airtel for Timor-Leste.
Bharti Airtel partnered with O3b to deliver a unique satellite service with the performance of fiber at a fraction of the cost and deployment time of undersea cable.
O3b satellites orbit the earth in Medium Earth Orbit, one quarter the distance and one quarter the latency of geostationary satellites – resulting into improved voice, data and video performance on fixed or mobile devices.
Bharti Airtel will use the improved connectivity to support growth of 2G, 3G customers across Timor-Leste, replacing the bulk of geostationary-based capacity from other service providers.
