About OneWeb
OneWeb is a global communications company operating a constellation of approximately 648 satellites in low Earth orbit at around 1,200 km altitude. The constellation provides broadband connectivity services to businesses, governments and communities worldwide, with a particular focus on bridging the digital divide in remote areas.
Unlike Starlink's lower orbit (480–550 km), OneWeb operates at a higher altitude with a near-polar inclination, providing strong coverage at high latitudes — making it particularly suited to Arctic and maritime connectivity.
OneWeb vs Starlink
OneWeb and Starlink take fundamentally different approaches to broadband from space. OneWeb uses fewer, higher-altitude satellites with larger ground terminals, while Starlink uses thousands of lower satellites with smaller consumer dishes. See our detailed comparison for a full breakdown.
How to Track
Open the Orbital Radar live tracker and use the Operators panel to filter by OneWeb. You will see the full constellation distributed in near-polar orbital planes.
