Constellation for IoT/M2M services.

Description

Low data M2M and IoT services.

Astrocast will be the first IoT nanosatellite constellation to deliver:

  • 100% coverage of the globe including remote areas
  • Lowest latency nanosatellite IoT network
  • Global L-Band frequencies
  • 256 bit encryption with multi-level security
  • Patented data protocol developed and optimized for satellite IoT in partnership with Airbus
  • Communication module smaller than a credit card using a revolutionary low-cost and ultra-low power patented chipset developed in collaboration with the CEA
  • Miniaturized and low-cost antenna
  • Low-cost data plans
  • Web application for monitoring assets and subscription plan
