The recently reported SES MEO satellite launches are continuing to bring business opportunities for SES and its customers: this time Ecuadorian state telco CNT is involved.

CNT says it will deploy the O3b mPOWER satellite technology to improve connectivity on the Galápagos Islands, a province of Ecuador that lies about 1,000km off its coast.

On Friday, SES announced that the first two O3b mPOWER satellites were successfully launched into space by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida. The initial constellation consists of 11 satellites.

SES says its second-generation medium earth orbit (MEO) system will deliver terabit-level scale and roundtrip latency of less than 150 milliseconds.

CNT is a long-time customer; in 2015 the companies partnered to offer broadband internet to the Galápagos. The second generation of the O3b constellation will be able to distribute connectivity further into the islands.

This news [follows the announcement](https://developingtelecoms.com/telecom-technology/satellite-communications-networks/14350-vodafone-taps-ses-satellites-for-4g.html) that customers of Vodafone Cook Islands will be able to experience 4G+ networks and high-performance internet connectivity across the outer islands due to a new O3b mPOWER agreement signed with SES.

The company also has plans to connect parts of the Colombian Amazon. [As we announced in October](https://developingtelecoms.com/telecom-technology/satellite-communications-networks/14137-ses-helps-claro-expand-coverage-of-the-amazon.html), SES has signed a multi-year capacity renewal deal with operator Claro Brasil, through Embratel, its corporate solutions division, to enable the delivery of enhanced 4G/5G-ready services via its O3b mPOWER network, in at least eight of 23 cities the operator serves via SES’s multi-orbit satellite network across the region.
