The constellation’s first four operational satellites will be developed under the supervision of Loft Orbital and Clyde Space.
Partnership with IoT network operator and service provider Sigfox will enable unparalleled integration between terrestrial and satellite networks.
Eutelsat Communications unveils its ELO constellation project targeting the Internet of Things (IoT) market.
The upcoming IoT market boom in sectors as diverse as transport, oil and gas, and agriculture means that tens of millions of objects will need to communicate with each other in areas unserved by terrestrial infrastructure.
Eutelsat’s ELO constellation will offer global IoT coverage enabling objects to transmit data, irrespective of their location.
The construction of this nanosatellite constellation will begin with a first series of four satellites from Loft Orbital (ELO 1 and 2) and Clyde Space (ELO 3 and 4).
If this new initiative proves successful, other satellites will be added to the constellation, to reach a total of 25 satellites operational by 2022.
This constellation project follows on from an initial nanosatellite ordered by Eutelsat from Tyvak International last year.
Planned for launch early next year, the objective of this test satellite will be to confirm the technical performance of various waveforms between a satellite in low Earth orbit and objects on the ground.
Low Earth orbit is particularly suited for processing signals emitted by connected objects as it offers a ubiquitous satellite link, complementing terrestrial IoT networks, without increasing the cost or energy consumption of these objects.
Combining satellite technology with terrestrial IoT will be key to accessing the economies of scale required to deploy satellite IoT.
Through ELO, Eutelsat’s aim is to position itself as the partner of choice for IT integrators and terrestrial operators seeking to offer their customers worldwide coverage
