Orange Wholesale’s LiveSpace Broadband Up offers the simplicity and versatility of a multi-asset LEO satellite connectivity package to enterprise users, and a turnkey, trusted solution for operators seeking to expand their B2B service offering. 

As part of its LiveSpace portfolio of satellite connectivity solutions, Orange Wholesale has launched LiveSpace Broadband Up. Distributed to telco operators, MNOs and ISPs, it solves a variety of pain points to their business users thanks to a unique approach. 
Our difference comes from: 

  • multi-asset connectivity, leveraging partnerships with all LEO constellations working with Orange, representing thousands of satellites, 
  • multi-asset hardware, with the most suited mount/antenna/modem bundle 
  • and our Satellite Factory’s expertise to cut complexity by 70% for operators. 

 

LiveSpace Broadband Up for end-users: easy-to-deploy multi-asset satellite broadband for businesses

For enterprise end-users, a multi-LEO constellation satellite solution like LiveSpace Broadband Up solves a variety of pain points:  

  • Establishing secure communications in remote, infrastructure-limited environments for businesses, 
  • Securing backup connectivity that keeps critical systems running when terrestrial networks go down, with scalable bandwidth and data volumes to match evolving needs, 
  • Enjoying predictable billing with fixed monthly pricing and clear top-up schemes, 

Samy Nicolas Bouchalat As Samy Nicolas Bouchalat, Head of Space Network Solutions at Orange Wholesale International explains: “Typical B2B end-users addressed by operators proposing LiveSpace Broadband Up include offshore oil platforms, rural operations like foresting, local governments or even datacenters for backup purposes. If you think about oil platforms specifically, even if they may use GEO links for satellite communications, LiveSpace Broadband Up and its LEO connectivity offers much lower latency and higher bandwidth, which is especially appreciated for crew welfare applications. This solution offers the right balance between quality of service, data security, business continuity and trusted relationship with a known service operator”. 

 

LiveSpace Broadband Up for customers: a turnkey solution to deepen B2B portfolio easily

This latter point bridges end-user needs and customer interests, as LiveSpace Broadband Up offers a unique opportunity for operators. 

  • For operators, ISPs and MNOs, LiveSpace Broadband Up offers: 
  • New revenue streams with a strategic resilience layer that sets them apart, 
  • A flexible, agnostic, multiple asset-based solution not tied to one specific constellation, 
  • Easy marketing and installation with full integration to match the needs of each customer, 
  • Hassle-free customer management as Orange supports operators for the whole customer lifecycle. 

Samy Nicolas Bouchalat goes on: “Resilience is the whole point of satellite connectivity, and with LiveSpace portfolio, you get more resilience than with a single provider. The hardware kits we provide, complete with the appropriate modem, flat antenna and mounts are using several vendors working with the constellations. It’s more flexible, more future-proof. And for operators, matching the setup to the exact needs of their end-users is completely hassle-free. They answer our list of 10 to 20 questions to evaluate the best package for their end-user needs and we take it from there. We can even do antenna-bonding where reception or performance has to be improved”. 

Talking about future-proofness, what does Samy Nicolas Bouchalat have in the making for LiveSpace Broadband Up ? “We’re looking at several things, like a more complete integration within our Click NaaS platform and customer portal, including monitoring, change management and automatic billing schemes. But the most decisive upgrade is the constant expansion of our satellite partnerships, giving this multi-asset connectivity offering more footprint, more flexibility, more resilience.” 

What’s a multi-asset satellite LEO connectivity offering and why does it matter for enterprise broadband uses?

Multi-asset satellite offering, especially LEO-based, offer multiple benefits to enterprise users related to resilience, flexibility and performance, including the possibility of antenna bonding. 

What’s a multi-asset satellite connectivity solution?

A Multi-asset satellite connectivity solution leverages partnerships with multiple constellations, so that the end-user connects with the satellites that have the best coverage for his location and needs. 

What’s antenna bonding?

Antenna bonding means combining multiple antenna paths so a device or network link can improve signal quality, throughput, reliability or redundancy. 

This can take the form of: 

  • Combining antennas at hardware level by using multiple antennas together to improve reception/transmission, often through diversity or Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO)-type operation, 
  • Using multiple antenna-backed connections for link bonding, where a router or terminal uses several wireless links at once and aggregates them into one logical connection for more bandwidth or resilience. 

Why is LEO-satellite connectivity better for business uses?

Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites offer several advantages over GEO satellites for daily broadband use: 

  • Lower latency (around 50-100ms versus about 600ms for GEO), as LEO satellites orbit much closer to Earth – this matters for business apps such as cloud tools, video calls, VPNs, and interactive systems, 
  • Faster download speeds (up to 2400 Mbps versus 100 Mbps) 
  • Easy to deploy for remote sites where fiber or terrestrial mobile coverage is scarce, slow, or too expensive to extend, 
  • Perfect add-on to fiber to ensure business continuity and resilience as a backup link with faster rollout.
