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.

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.

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.

The satellite industry is undergoing its most significant digital transformation yet, poised to reduce costs, enhance resilience, spur innovation, and expand its global market share. However, breaking through the bottleneck of the ground segment is crucial to achieving this goal, as current analog IF systems struggle to scale and meet future capacity demands. Transitioning to digital IF promises a solution.

Founded in 2020, Atheras Analytics has developed a suite of software tools that enable satellite operators to optimize the design and operation of their high throughput satellite (HTS) services in Ka and Q/V-band.

In our increasingly connected world, the demand to access data collected from anywhere on the planet is constantly on the rise. One of the ways to address this is non-terrestrial networks. I recently spoke to Gianluca Redolfi, Chief Commercial Officer of Sateliot, to hear how they plan to revolutionize the communications industry.
