Greg Wyler

Wyler spent four years developing telecommunications in Africa in rural locations. In 2003, he built a local team and connected over 200 schools to the Internet, providing the first 3G and fiber connections to residences on the continent. In 2006 his company Terracom acquired 99% control of Rwandatel, although the government of Rwanda then bought Rwandtel back in 2007.

In 2007, he founded O3b Networks, Ltd. The idea for creating a medium Earth orbit satellite network to provide voice and data communications to remote locations was first conceived while working on a project to provide a nationwide telephone service in rural Rwanda, attempting to wire the post-war and economically shattered country. O3b has launched 12 satellites.

In 2012, Wyler founded OneWeb with the mission of "enabling Internet access for everyone".

On 1 August 2016, satellite operator SES S.A. completed the acquisition of O3b Networks.

In March 2020. OneWeb entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy after failing to raise enough capital to complete the build and deployment of its satellite constellation. OneWeb exited bankruptcy with new investment, but Wyler was no longer involved with the company.

Wyler founded satellite communications company E-Space in 2021, to create a network of satellites providing services targeting governments and businesses.
