The IoT4EO workshop was organized by ESA and has the aim to explore the opportunities that IoT transmission techniques can offer in the field of Earth Observation.

A central question was: How can nearly instant connectivity for satellites flying in the low-earth orbit be achieved? For NEOSAT, Kai-Uwe Storek, our managing director, was proud to show how UCSS, our IoT waveform, can play a significant role: “Even small cubesats can be equipped with a tiny UCSS module that enables an LEO-GEO-Relay communication. This allows the cubesat to continuously exchange small messages within the coverage of one or multiple GEO beams.”
