“As expected, 2018 was a record year for the emerging satellite internet-of- things market. Seven different commercial operators launched their first satellite(s) last year, and five of the seven launched more than one! Growth in this segment is surpassing even our initial predictions and promises to be a major driver of market growth in the future.”

“Satellite IoT is expected to be the largest driver of market growth in the future, and may be coming sooner rather than later ▪ Initial growth in the communications segment is greater than was seen in the early years of the Earth Observation & Remote Sensing segment.”

IoT is already used in our daily life, with a number of services providing information and data related to health and fitness, home-automation, security, smart cities, transportation, connected vehicles, industrial activities
² Ground infrastructures: hardly capable of affording these numbers; unable of providing global coverage, especially for what regards Earth remote regions (Arctic and Antarctic, Islands…) or even servicing large shipping company (fishing, cruising, cargo…) ² Providing such a service from Space, so called “Internet of Space” (IoS), would

There is the perception of a sizeable gap between the demand of sats services in the maritime sector, the quality requirement of data, apart from the obvious integration with any available GNSS service on a worldwide scale, and the actual capacity of the offer
access area (Sentinels), from the big data networks, in situ, historical series… ² Services: security and remote medical care services necessary for all types of vessels and in particular the cruisers (medical diagnostics and emergency intervention from Ground service points), advanced meteorological parameters, salinity, temperature, pollution degree, surface wind of the water through in situ sensors networks and archive material, optimal routing assistance according to meteo and currents, etc.)

Key elements ▪ Directional telecommunication systems must be pointed to the relevant antenna during operations (ground station or other sat) ▪ This makes it hard to point at other targets ▪ Usual pan-tilt Actuation Systems for the antennae are complex and massive ▪ Our solution: a single degree of freedom actuation that, in tandem with the ADC system, allows pointing two targets at once .
