Connectivity services provided via SES’s O3b and O3b mPOWER constellation operating in medium earth orbit (MEO) are now available commercially for the first time in Taiwan to Aerkomm Taiwan’s government customers, announced both companies.

Aerkomm Taiwan Inc., a subsidiary of Aerkomm Inc. USA, was recently awarded a commercial satellite communications frequency license by the Taiwan Ministry of Digital Affairs, authorising Aerkomm to offer connectivity services via non-geostationary satellites.

Aerkomm will be able to offer high-throughput, ultra-flexible and carrier-grade connectivity services delivered via O3b mPOWER, SES’s second-generation MEO communications system, from even the most remote regions across Taiwan.
