Astrocast, a leading satellite IoT operator, has announced the extension of its partnership with Airbus Defence and Space to enhance the capabilities of satellite Internet of Things (SatIoT) technology.
The partnership enables Astrocast to further increase its network capacity to provide the most reliable and cost-effective SatIoT capabilities to its customers. In recent years, the collaboration between Airbus and Astrocast has been instrumental to Astrocast. Since 2017 this relationship has enabled Astrocast to develop its communication protocol and modem software stack more effectively. This forms a core part of Astocast’s wider satellite IoT technology. In building upon this successful collaboration, both companies have agreed to extend their partnership. Airbus will continue to provide extensive support to Astrocast.
Through this satellie IoT partnership with Airbus, Astrocast expects to continue capitalising on their shared technological successes and further enhance SatIoT Bandwidth and Quality of Service for all customers. This will allow them to benefit from a continuous improvement of data transmission capacity, efficiency, latency and security. Customers will, in turn, be able to further optimize their operational efficiency according to their needs.
“Through this satellite IoT partnership extension, Airbus reaffirms its commitment to Astrocast’s technology roadmap and its leadership in the SatIoT space. This collaboration also lays the important foundation for potential convergences with the future 5G NTN IoT communications standards that are currently in discussion for LEO constellations. In time, these enhanced capabilities for collecting and exchanging critical data with IoT assets from multiple applications will benefit users across various key industries worldwide. Astrocast is not only poised to address these challenges, its roadmap is designed to take them head on for the industry,” says François Gaullier – SVP Telecommunications and Navigation Systems – Space Systems at Airbus Defence and Space.
This collaboration reinforces our commitment to continuing to provide our customers with the most reliable and efficient SatIoT connectivity on the market. With Airbus’s support, we will further solidify Astrocast’s position as the go-to satellite IoT operator,” says Fabien Jordan, CEO of Astrocast.”
