SES said it will invest $75 million in O3b and provide engineering and commercial support to the company, whose earlier investors include Google and HSBC. O3b plans a constellation of satellites in medium equatorial orbit to provide Internet backbone services to ISPs and other telecommunications companies in underserved parts of the world.
