OneWeb has made a key move in the U.S market, signing a partnership deal with IP Access International, a provider of terrestrial and space based mobile connectivity to enterprise and public safety markets, to deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity across the United States. The deal was announced Aug. 8.

This agreement comes following the completion of OneWeb’s global constellation earlier this year, as the business nears full global connectivity. IP Access International will blend OneWeb’s satellite services with all major terrestrial cellular providers in the U.S., providing resilient mobile communications through a single service plan and support center.

This partnership makes OneWeb’s Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation the first to be integrated into IP Access International’s SuperGIG service, a connectivity solution designed specifically for public safety and enterprise critical mobile operations that seamlessly aggregates terrestrial and space-based networks.

“Space-based communications have been a cornerstone of resilient communications for decades, but now with the OneWeb LEO constellation, our SuperGIG solution will be even faster with lower latency. This will be a game-changer for our clients,” said Bryan Hill,” CEO of IP Access, said in a statement.
