NOVELSAT and Guident Partner
to Boost Autonomous Systems
Safety with Space Connectivity
February 21, 2023
NOVELSAT and Guident are
partnering to develop an innovative always-on,
ubiquitous remote monitor and control solution for
autonomous vehicles and devices.
The solution combines space
communications and augmented intelligence
technologies toensure optimal safety and security
for autonomous vehicles and devices, enabling remote
monitoring and operation at any time and place. This
integration of NOVELSAT's satellite[1]based
space connectivity technologies and Guident's
human-in-the-loop AI technologies will provide
reliable and high-speed bi-directional connectivity.
This connectivity enables continuous, high-quality
video streaming to monitor autonomous vehicles
remotely and, when necessary, to allow remote
control of the vehicles to resolve various edge
cases.
Additionally, the connectivity
will provide real-time audio and video communication
with passengers, pedestrians, or first responders,
ensuring the highest level of safety for autonomous
systems, which is a crucial factor in the deployment
and management of such systems.
The cooperation between the
companies opens the door for new markets and revenue
opportunities by offering a new level of autonomous
systems safety for a wide range of applications:
transportation, delivery, agriculture, hospitality,
mining, logistics, and more.
“NOVELSAT is excited to partner
with Guident to bring the highest level of safety to
autonomous systems,” said Gary Drutin, CEO of
NOVELSAT. “Our space-based connectivity solutions
will ensure the always-on, high-capacity
connectivity that is essential for the safe
deployment and operation of autonomous vehicles and
devices in diverse environments.
We believe this partnership
will enable us to lead the way in providing
innovative connectivity solutions that meet the
needs of the autonomous systems industry.”
“Guident is thrilled to work
with NOVELSAT to create an exceptional remote
monitor and control solution for autonomous vehicles
and devices,” said Harald Braun, Chairman and CEO of
Guident. “Leveraging cross-network connectivity, our
Remote Monitor and Control Center (RMCC) will enable
always-on remote monitoring and controlling of
autonomous vehicles and devices, thereby resolving
unforeseen situations and providing unparalleled
safety and reliability in various applications. This
integration of cutting-edge technologies is a
game-changer, and we are excited to be at the
forefront of this technological breakthrough."
