Oneliner	Swarm provides the world’s lowest cost, global connectivity for IoT devices.
Notes	Customers pay $119 for Swarm Tiles, low-power modems to embed in devices, in addition to $5 per device per month for Swarm service. Regulatory approval to operate commercially gained in early 2020. 2020 YEAR IN REVIEW, 2021-01-06. Satellite operators see acquisition opportunities, 2021-09-07. Swarm Technologies, Inc. seeks a Petition for Declaratory Ruling to Access the U.S. Market for a non-voice, non-geostationary mobile-satellite service system consisting of 450 satellites in low Earth orbit operating in the 399.9-400.05 MHz (Earth-to-space. Acquired by SpaceX in mid 2021. SpaceX is now advertising Swarm satellite Internet of Things connectivity on its Starlink website, with IoT service at $5 per month. Swarm’s baseline subscription supports 750 data packets a month (up to 150kB per device per month). SpaceX paid $524M for its 2021 acquisition of Swarm, mostly in stock (Wall Street Journal, 2023-08-17). Starlink's Swarm IoT service is transitioning to LTE satellite based service based on Gen 2 satellites, but will continue to support its existing Swarm users, and launch more satellites in the Swarm constellation. Swarm Technologies' store-and-forward VHF satellite constellation is being sunsetted. Commercial service will end in March 2025.
