Technology
JUPITER™ 3 is geo-synchronous satellite, which means it stays in orbit far away from earth and covers a large area. JUPITER™ 3 is going to be the largest commercial GEO satellite in the world, with a total capacity higher than the previous JUPITER™ satellites combined. Xplore’s booked capacity for Canadian customers makes for the single largest reservation of bandwidth from this satellite.
Xplore is choosing a low impact solution in GEO technology. It is a proven technology that allows us to offer cost effective Internet service to more areas in Canada as we work on ultimately covering these areas with superior Fibre & 5G connections.
