Internet of things is gradually gaining ground in our daily lives. The most predominant impact can be seen in various consumer gadgets being launched with cloud-connected capabilities. But these technologies are based on cellular level connectivity options. This impacts the range of the devices, as well as their usability in remote, areas on the planet.
As a solution to this many space technology companies are providing satellite-based connectivity options for enterprise as well as consumer level solutions.
There are startups which are also being funded for the purpose of global scale connectivity options via nanosatellites (satellites with the wet mass of 1kg to 10kg).
Astrocast is a startup who "are a team of humble disruptors, ambitious enough to connect the entire planet with a constellation of Swiss-made miniaturized satellites".
Their aim is to provide global coverage of IoT and Machine to Machine (M2M) communication. They are doing so through their fleet of polar orbit nanosatellites. Their connectivity scheme is below.
They are aiming to provide the connectivity solution to logistic sectors, the mining sector, agricultural sector etc.
