Q&A With Open Cosmos Founder and CEO, Rafel Jorda Siquier
Founded in 2015, Open Cosmos is a leading space technology business, with facilities in the UK, Spain, Greece and Portugal which manufactures and operates satellites so organisations worldwide can benefit from the richness of satellite data to address their challenges.
Innovation and Evolving Security Standards – Catalysts for Global Satcoms Change
When it comes to adopting new and transformative communications technology, often government and defence organisations lead the charge, largely down to their R&D budgets and focus on delivering the latest security technology in an evolving theatre.
Empowering Telecom Operators with Space-Based 5G Internet Connectivity
Founded in 2022, Constellation Technologies & Operations is developing a constellation of satellites to empower telecom operators to provide high-speed, low-latency internet from space, complementing terrestrial networks. I recently connected with Charles Delfieux, CEO and founder to find out how they plan to make universal access to high-performance, affordable, sustainable internet is a reality.
How Satellite Communications are Changing the IoT Landscape
There are currently over 17 billion IoT devices connected worldwide, with the number expected to reach 30 billion by 2030. As these devices become located in increasingly remote areas, the need for satellite connectivity is increasing.
Satellite IoT: The Key to Precision Farming
As human beings, we have relied upon agriculture for thousands of years. As the source of our food production, it has evolved over centuries, taking in the latest available technologies throughout history. This sector is essential to our survival but only 12% of the world’s land is usable for farming and with agriculture, forestry and land use the source of 23% of greenhouse emissions, the way we farm today is under scrutiny.
How Can We Enable the Next Generation of Antennas to Ensure the Industry Can Move Towards a Multi-orbit, Multi-network Environment?
Flat Panel antennas are absolutely crucial to enabling the next generation of satellite. However, manufacturers are challenged with a lack of clarity on performance and test requirements for these antennas. Moving this forward will require industry collaboration to determine an agreed set of criteria and that will need input from all stakeholders.
