Description
Satellite IoT: Nanosats for Worldwide Rural IoT Connectivity
Featuring Ed Hightower
Providing IoT connectivity to remote and rural areas around the world... and doing so at an economical cost has been a challenge... until now.
Nearly 30 companies are launching (or plan to soon launch) nanosatellites into low earth orbits (LEOs) that will provide worldwide coverage for IoT solutions... and do so at an economical cost.
These sats are small in size but huge in the technological capabilities. They are aimed at supporting short messages and applications tolerant of latency... i.e. perfect for many IoT applications.
If you are challenged with creating IoT solutions that must work in remote/rural areas (or you're just curious). Come join us on September 26th and learn more about nanosatellites, the applications they're best suited for and the companies that are launching them.
