OneWeb has signed a distribution partnership agreement with Connecta Satellite Solutions as it looks to increase its presence in the United States and across the Caribbean. The two companies announced the partnership, July 5. Connecta will be selling a full suite of OneWeb-powered connectivity solutions to enterprise and government customers in these regions. These offerings will complement and extend existing Connecta services and enable low-latency connectivity solutions.

Connecta hopes to use OneWeb’s technology to open up new opportunities for education, healthcare, and economic development, with Connecta hoping the fast connection speeds and low latency of LEO satellites can help transform connectivity in areas where terrestrial services are not currently available.

“We are thrilled to enter into this partnership with OneWeb, a pioneer in LEO satellite communications. This collaboration will enable us to offer our customers high-speed, low-latency connectivity solutions that will drive innovation and economic growth in underserved areas. We look forward to working closely with OneWeb to provide exceptional service and expand the reach of satellite connectivity throughout the country,” Connecta Satellite Solutions CEO Marlos Barbosa said in a statement.
