Sateliot is building a constellation of 250 unique satellites enabling 5G NB-IoT connectivity from space. Under the terms of this agreement, Sateliot is set to deploy four additional satellites to join its growing 5G IoT constellation utilizing Exolaunch’s services and hardware.
Sateliot’s four 6U satellites, named Sateliot_1, Sateliot_2, Sateliot_3, and Sateliot_4, are manifested via Exolaunch on the Transporter-11 Rideshare mission with SpaceX, which is slated to launch in mid-2024. Sateliot will benefit from Exolaunch's renowned mission management services and integration support, and will leverage Exolaunch's innovative and flight-proven containerized satellite separation system, the EXOpod Nova, for the deployment of its satellites.
"Partnering with Exolaunch marks a significant milestone for Sateliot as we continue our mission to revolutionize 5G IoT connectivity from space. With Exolaunch's expertise and industry-leading services, we are confident in the successful launch and deployment of our next four satellites, further advancing our vision of ubiquitous IoT connectivity,” said Jaume Sanpera, chief executive officer at Sateliot.
"This agreement highlights Exolaunch's dedication to facilitating the growth and success of innovative European companies like Sateliot," said Pablo Lobo, mission manager at Exolaunch. "Exolaunch is proud to provide our industry-leading services and technology to support Sateliot's vision of advancing 5G IoT connectivity from space.
