CB2.0's IMHO=BEST [Inclined Medium-earth Hemisphere-wide Orbit = Best Economics Satellite Technology] mini-constellations provide cheaper/faster/better global broadband internet solutions globally (with as few as 6-9 satellites, 2 launches) for Consumers, Enterprise, 5G, IoT, and Connected Cars. Delivering Tbps+ capacity at 3x better bits/$ compared to the leading UHTS GEO platforms; yet reaching high latitudes where GEO can't at half the latency - - or global capacity at 10x better bits/$ CapEx + OpEx cost compared to LEO mega-constellations; yet having twice LEO lifetimes. CB2.0 is the only truly-global capacity solution that precisely matches capacity supply to local broadband internet demand during peak daily variations across an entire hemisphere (tripling capacity during peak evening hours). Our award-winning service can deliver lowest cost/highest efficiency growth capacity in any/all satellite spectrum bands globally in small scalable incremental CapEx investments - - with capacity launches timed precisely to match network fill and regional demand - - delivering global coverage at high look-angles including over the poles, highest efficiency and best ROI/capital. CB2.0's novel service offers many technical & economic benefits compared to GEO or LEO satellite networks - - delivering ULTRA-RELIABLE C-BAND AVAILABILITY (no rain fade), 80% lower-cost receive antennas, half the latency, and with hemispheric & high latitude reach to areas current GEO satellites can’t reach. CB2.0 was recognized by the Canadian Space Agency to pitch at InvestmentSpace 2019, Hello Tomorrow 2019 Challenge, Telecom Council Silicon Valley Innovation Showcase Class of 2018 as an "Innovator to Watch", SATELLITE 2018 selected CB2.0 for their Startup Space, and Euroconsult chose CB2.0 as a FinSpace Runner-Up during 2017 World Satellite Business Week.For more details visit www.cb2sat.com Show less
