O3b successfully launched its first four satellites in June 2013. The satellites have demonstrated higher than specified performance. O3b has already committed over 25 Gbps of capacity and will commence commercial service in Q1 2014. O3b aims to extend connectivity to underserved areas through its satellite network.
