Addvalue And Cloud Constellation Announce New
Cooperation Agreement In Support Of
Spacebelt Satellite Constellation Development
October 29
Addvalue Innovation Pte Ltd and
Cloud Constellation Corporation announced a partnership
focused on development of satellite products and
services in support of Cloud Constellation’s SpaceBelt™
Data Security as a Service (DSaaS) cloud services.
Pursuant to a cooperation
agreement signed at the International Astronautical
Congress (IAC 2019) in Washington D.C. last week,
Addvalue will lend its satellite communications
expertise to the development and manufacture of
SpaceBelt satellite communications terminal, as well as
supporting design activities related to Cloud
Constellation’s inter-satellite communication protocols
and a high performance, space-resilient,
software-defined, embedded hardware solution capable of
supporting edge computing for artificial intelligence
(AI) and blockchain applications.
Cloud Constellation is poised to
offer the world’s first cloud infrastructure and data
storage service, based entirely in space. The company’s
patented SpaceBelt architecture utilizes GEO partner’s
satellites to securely transfer data between the
customer’s enterprise location(s) and the SpaceBelt LEO
network. This provides the strongest data security
possible by offering global isolation from the
terrestrial infrastructure of an enterprise or
government organization’s high value, highly sensitive,
mission-critical data assets.
Addvalue is uniquely equipped to
provide Cloud Constellation with the satellite
communications expertise required to enable direct and
secure transfer of data stored on the SpaceBelt
constellation, given the company’s recent success in its
own Inter-satellite Data Relay System (“IDRS”) that
offers LEO satellite operators an on-demand real
time connection to their satellite constellations. “This
is exactly the type of next-generation LEO satellite
communication technology that Cloud Constellation will
need to ensure SpaceBelt’s success; and so, it is with
great excitement that we announce the collaboration
between our companies,” said Cliff Beek, Cloud
Constellation’s CEO.
Today’s announcement is but the
first step in the partnership between the companies. Dr
Colin Chan, Addvalue’s CEO commented, “We could not be
happier about joining the group of industry leaders
selected by Cloud Constellation to participate in the
development and launch of their SpaceBelt Constellation
and DSaaS cloud services. We hope that this new
partnership, which begins with engineering services,
will continue for years to come in the form of a design,
manufacturing and distribution partnership for the
SpaceBelt services.”
