Earlier this week, O3b Networks announced that its constellation of eight satellites, four of which were launched into orbit last month, are now fully operational.

O3b (the name comes from the other 3 billion people without internet access) is able to offer high speed satellite internet to places where its difficult to build a fiberoptic infrastructure. And while satellite internet isnt new, O3bs uniqueness is that it can provide that internet with low latency the time it takes the signal to travel.

Most satellite internet and data services are from satellites in geosynchronous orbit a little over 22,000 miles above the Earths surface. That distance increases the time it takes for data signals to travel. O3bs satellites, on the other hand, are only about 5000 miles above the Earths surface. That decreases the latency to a point thats competitive with fiberoptic services.

As a result of its data services, the company reports that many of its telecommunications company customers are now able to provide 3G data services to their customers when before they were only able to offer voice services. And its data trunking service is able to provide 600Mbps with a latency of less than 150 milliseconds.

The exciting part of our challenge now is keeping up with demand, O3b CEO Steve Collar said in a statement. We have 28 signed customers who are eagerly anticipating service activation and all have heard the reaction from customers already in service.

However, the launch, originally scheduled for Aug. 26 and moved to Aug. 27, has been delayed to triple-check Falcon 9s systems after an experimental SpaceX rocket failed a test flight. No new launch date for this mission has yet been announced, but it is likely to be early September. More info here.

Space Launch Schedule For September 2014

In muddy hi-def, LVbeef up debut Routes with a grass roots handle on tightly knitted futurism. Gritty gold is forged from cast-iron techniques and improvised mergers, entertaining brain cells and hip bones with doughty garage and dubstep, and dripdowns of broken beat and astral soul.

Shake is chipper and hyped up while and Double Decker Back Seat is sneeringly heavyweight two songs that determine the albums profile as a minefield not without its bubbles. The trios ascent runs in tandem with the progression of (Benin City vocalist) Josh Idehensmic persona, posing as grime bovver boy on the eskiish Imminent, via the best of Roots Manuva, Dubbledge and The Spaceape.

An awesomely designed underground rising.

9/10
