Atombeam Technologies Joins
Inmarsat’s Elevate Programme
23rd March, 2023
AtomBeam Technologies, a data
compaction software company, today announced it has
joined Inmarsat’s ELEVATE programme.
ELEVATE is a development
programme, ecosystem and marketplace for providers
of software, hardware and solutions, and original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in commercial land
markets. As an ELEVATE
partner, AtomBeam Technologies will provide
customers with a reliable solution to significantly
save on bandwidth usage and heighten security across
connected IoT devices
As part of the programme,
AtomBeam Technologies will benefit from Inmarsat’s
global L-band network ELERA, the leading satellite
network for the Internet of Things (IoT). This will
enhance the company’s ability to meet customers’
data needs, wherever they may be.
AtomBeam Technologies, a
California-based software company, provides a
patented data solution called Compaction. It
dramatically reduces the size of IoT message
payloads by up to 75%, which significantly reduces
airtime costs when applied over satellite networks.
When integrated into IoT
devices, Compaction supports widespread IoT use
cases including real time remote management,
preventative maintenance and fleet optimisation to
deliver tangible benefits for customers in all
industries. Now it is applied over Imarsat’s global
ELERA satellite network, customers benefit from a
reliable, secure and cost-effective way to save on
bandwidth usage and enhance communication between
IoT devices anywhere in the world.
AtomBeam’s Compaction
technology is making telemetry and asset tracking
cheaper and easier so transportation and logistics
companies can optimise even the remotest of routes
to ensure safety and efficiency. It is also helping
energy producers and utilities companies benefit
from real-time performance data to keep energy
flowing and the lights on across vast networks.
The partnership will also prove
valuable as AtomBeam looks to expand its offering
across a range of industries like agriculture and
mining, where their IoT-enabling technology unlocks
up-to-the-minute crop and soil information for
farmers and enables remote mining management to
improve productivity and sustainability.
As part of the programme,
AtomBeam Technologies will gain access to Inmarsat’s
broader partner network, creating opportunities to
collaborate on additional niche compaction solutions
for its customers.
ELEVATE’s marketplace will help
the company increase sales by attracting new
customers in locations without reliable
connectivity, or those which have mission-critical
connectivity needs. For customers, it gives access
to a broad choice of satellite-enabled IoT solutions
developed by a range of providers to enhance the
efficiency, safety and sustainability of their
businesses.
Jat Brainch, Chief Commerical
and Digital Officer, Inmarsat, said "We are pleased
to welcome AtomBeam Technologies to Inmarsat's
ELEVATE programme, an announcement which further
cements ELEVATE as the go-to destination for
satellite IoT innovation. By combining forces, we
will accelerate the development of IoT solutions to
meet our clients' mission-critical requirements
across diverse industries.
"At Inmarsat, we have a rich
tradition of industry collaboration. Through
partnerships with forward-thinking companies like
AtomBeam Technologies, they can rely on ELERA, our
state-of-the-art satellite communication network to
deliver groundbreaking solutions at speed.
“Customers can access a
comprehensive range of affordable IoT solutions from
the ELEVATE marketplace, making it an efficient way
for them to benefit from reliable IoT technology
that works anywhere and everywhere. This
one-stop-shop helps them leverage the latest
technology to meet some of the greatest challenges
the planet faces today."
Charles Yeomans, CEO of
AtomBeam Technologies, added "AtomBeam is proud to
join Inmarsat's ELEVATE, bringing our game-changing
Compaction software technology to the table. Our
solution can reduce IoT satellite data transmission
by, on average, 75% without added latency, unlocking
many new use cases. Most customers will utilise
Inmarsat's BGAN M2M family, and AtomBeam is already
benefitting from having responded to a tender for a
major corporate user of satellite data while also in
talks with another large corporate prospect.
“Our ELEVATE partnership aims
to greatly expand the availability and use of
satellite IoT data transmission and deliver value to
our mutual customers. The future is bright for this
partnership!"
Inmarsat’s ELEVATE programme is
open to new entrants, disruptors, and established
brands of any size who have developed an innovative
digital product or service, but may need additional
support to exploit the benefits of satellite-enabled
IoT solutions. Inmarsat provides dedicated technical
guidance on how to integrate and support its
highly-reliable satellite services, go-to-market
strategy planning and exposure to the Inmarsat
distribution channel to enable access to new
markets.
Providers working across a
diverse range of industries, including agriculture,
aid and NGOs, energy, exploration and leisure,
media, mining, transport and utilities, as well as
agnostic technology providers, will be considered
for membership.
