Sateliot Enters The
U.S.A With The Accelerator Of Giants Qualcomm And
Verizon
Sateliot, the satellite
operator that will launch a constellation of
nanosatellites to universalize the Internet of
Things with 5G coverage, will enter the U.S. market
before the end of this year thanks to EvoNexus – the
accelerator sponsored by the microchip manufacturer
Qualcomm and the operator Verizon.
After evaluating more than 414
companies from around the world, EvoNexus has
recognized the technological and innovative
potential in the fields of space and
telecommunications of Sateliot and six other
companies, which have been selected to develop 5G
use cases together with strategic partners in their
areas of expertise.
Thus, the support of this
accelerator will allow Sateliot to grow in the
United States from its headquarters in San Diego, in
addition to working directly with experts in
telecommunications and IoT devices from Qualcomm and
Verizon, the world’s leading operator by turnover.
This mentoring, training and
networking program will also boost the new round of
financing that Sateliot is already preparing with an
eye on American funds interested in its
constellation of nanosatellites that will
universalize the IoT with 5G coverage.
A boost to the technological
and financial area
However, EvoNexus is not the
only accelerator that has bet on Sateliot in recent
months. The company has also participated in
Seraphim’s Space Camp, the first fund in the space
sector. This is a launching pad based in the United
Kingdom, which in its last edition brought together
seven start-ups in the space sector to boost their
business and attract investment.
The company is also part of the
Singapore Space & Technology (SSTL) startup
accelerator program, which gives Sateliot visibility
with investors and serves as a springboard for the
development of its business in the Asian
telecommunications industry.
According to Jaume Sanpera, CEO
of Sateliot:
“Our entry into this type
of project opens up new avenues for growth,
financing and technological capacity, while at the
same time connecting us with strategic stakeholders
around the world that will be key to the evolution
of our technology and our business plan”.
Sateliot is the first satellite
telecommunications operator that will provide global
and continuous connectivity to all the elements that
will make up the Internet of Things (IoT) universe –
such as the connected car or the connected home –
under the 5G protocol. Thanks to a constellation of
state-of-the-art nanosatellites, located at low
altitude and acting as mobile towers from space,
Sateliot is the perfect complement to large
telecommunications companies by providing them with
the necessary infrastructure to extend their
coverage where terrestrial technologies do not
reach.
