The existing global digital divide between the different geographic areas, leads to almost half
of the world’s population lacking access to a reliable Internet connection. OneWeb, a global
telecommunications company, aims to deploy an initial constellation of 648 satellites in low
Earth orbit (LEO) to provide high-speed and low-latency connectivity to governments, businesses and communities around the world. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the study of the
benefits provided by this orbit in the telecommunications field, for the subsequent analysis
and development of OneWeb’s business model, by means of the CANVAS methodology. This
project is integrated within the DISCOVERER framework, a European project dedicated to
the research of innovative technologies for its application in the lowest orbits (VLEO), in which
UPC is involved focusing on the market analysis to solve the existing market challenge
