The company said the expansion of the fleet would increase the company's throughput by more than 90 percent through a combination of the additional beams deployed and the enhanced link efficiency of a larger constellation of satellites.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; New equity funds were raised from certain of O3b s original investors, including Google, who were joined by Luxembourg-based investment company Luxempart. The financing also included the expansion of French export credit agency Coface-backed senior debt facility of an additional $85 million provided by HSBC, ING, CA-CIB and Dexia.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;  Raising additional financing to support future growth at a time of market uncertainty is an incredibly important milestone for O3b Networks and reflects the confidence that our investors and lenders have in our vision and unique value proposition," O3b Executive Vice President of Corporate Development Bill Lawrence said in a statement.<BR>O3b said it expects global IP traffic to quadruple over the next five years, growing at more than 30 percent per year thanks to large contributions from emerging markets. The company has already sold a little over a third of its capacity on a global basis with the contracted backlog now standing at over $600 million.<BR></td> </tr> </table> <table width="98%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> <table width="98%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="xhx01">&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table><table width='98%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'><tr><td class='navlb' align='left'>Related Articles</td></tr></table><div class='xginfo'><ul><li><a href='.html' >Eutelsat Reports Growth, Confirms Financial Objectives Thro...</a></li><li><a href='.html' >Norsat s Satellite Systems Segment Provides Boost in Third ...</a></li><li><a href='.html' >Comtech Wins Two Military Equipment Deals</a></li><li><a href='.html' >Gilat Wins Bolivia Cellular Backhaul Deal</a></li><li><a href='.html' >Inmarsat Reports Strong Quarter for All Sectors</a></li><li><a href='.html' >SNG Broadcast Services Taps Genesis Networks to Give Broadc...</a></li> </ul> </div><table width="98%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="xhx01">&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table><table width='98%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'><tr><td class='navlb' align='left'>Main Products</td></tr></table><div class='xgcp'><table><tr><td align='left' style='padding-left:5px;'><a href='/products/1.8m-Flyaway-antenna.html' ><img src='/uploadfiles/201121146857921.jpg' width='160' height='133' class='imgb02' /></a><br/><a href='/products/1.8m-Flyaway-antenna.html' class='ptext02'>1.8M Flyaway Antenna (C band)</a></td><td align='left' style='padding-left:5px;'><a href='/products/4.3m-Rx-antenna.html' ><img src='/uploadfiles/2010112462701517.jpg' width='160' height='133' class='imgb02' /></a><br/><a href='/products/4.3m-Rx-antenna.html' class='ptext02'>4.3M Rx Antenna</a></td><td align='left' style='padding-left:5px;'><a href='/products/4.5m-earth-station-antenna.html' ><img src='/uploadfiles/2010112980129753.jpg' width='160' height='133' class='imgb02' /></a><br/><a href='/products/4.5m-earth-station-antenna.html' class='ptext02'>4.5M VSAT Antenna</a></td><td align='left' style='padding-left:5px;'><a href='/products/6.2m-earth-station-antenna.html' ><img src='/uploadfiles/2010112455329609.jpg' width='160' height='133' class='imgb02' /></a><br/><a href='/products/6.2m-earth-station-antenna.html' class='ptext02'>6.2M Earth Station Antenna</a></td></tr></table></div></div></div> <div id="right"><div class='rightnav'> <table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'> <tr><td align='left'>Products</td></tr> </table></div><div class='rightcp'><ul><li ><a href='/Earth-Station-Antenna.html'>Earth Station Antenna</a></li><li ><a href='/SNG-Antenna.html'>SNG Antenna</a></li><li ><a href='/Flyaway-Antenna.html'>Flyaway Antenna</a></li><li ><a href='/Rx-Antenna.html'>Rx Antenna</a></li><li ><a href='/Antenna-Control-System.html'>Antenna Control System</a></li><li ><a href='/Antenna-Tracking-System.html'>Antenna Tracking System</a></li></ul></div><div class='rightnav'> <table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'> <tr><td align='left'>Related Articles</td></tr> </table></div><div class='rightnews02'><ul><li class='fgbg'><a href='/article/How-to-Site-VSAT-Antenna-Rx-Tx-antenna.html'>How to Site VSAT Antenna -
