O3b fleet

The O3b fleet was initially owned and operated by O3b Networks, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of SES in 2016 Orbiting in Medium Earth orbit, the first generation satellites are sometimes referred to as "O3b MEO" to more clearly distinguish them from the second generation O3b mPOWER constellation - first launched in 2016, and commenced service in 2024.
