Agreement Value:
$1,000,000.00
Agreement Date:
Sep 18, 2020 - Oct 30, 2022
Description:
SpaceBridge, as a pioneer in satellite ground-based technology, has planned to provide capabilities required for Industry 4.0, to accommodate Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) in order to facilitate concepts such as Cloud-based computing, Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Internet of Things (loT) alongside with RAN. Adding Low Earth Orbit constellation requirements for terminals will require unique features such as beam/satellite handover and heritage in the design of a universal terminal satisfying all these needs.
This reality and business direction has lead SpaceBridge to propose to design a new satellite modem with MEC and LEO capability that is compatible with the major requirements being demanded in the evolving Industry 4.0 revolution.
