ORBCOMM’s Next Generation - OG2....

ORBCOMM is driving the M2M revolution with ubiquitous coverage, reliable performance and cost-effective solutions, helping some of the world’s largest enterprises transform the way they do business. Today, we are getting ready to take our network to an even higher level of functionality, performance and service with OG2, our next generation of satellites. OG2 is built solely upon American innovation. Our best-of-breed partners are Sierra Nevada Corporation, Space-X, ITT, Boeing, ARGON, and L-3. ORBCOMM is proud to certify that the entire OG2 system, its engineering, launch and operation are uniquely performed and/or supported by US-based companies.

As part of a $200 million expansion program, ORBCOMM is launching 18 OG2 satellites on the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle. Our updated launch schedule allows ORBCOMM to spread the satellite deployment across multiple launches thereby increasing coverage and reducing risk.

When compared to our current constellation, ORBCOMM’s OG2 satellites have advanced communications technologies and are significantly larger with an “X Factor” that makes our next generation even more powerful, efficient and cutting-edge. Our network is purpose-built for M2M applications, making ORBCOMM the preferred choice in satellite communications.
