Proposition • IoT satcom: fast growing market with
many apps • enabled by Very Low End (VLE) comms
• Many organisations are exploring how to implement Very Low End IoT services on satellites
• In a new-space mode we propose : • A cubesat demo for a VLE user terminal
with satcom capabilities

Global Sat M2M Market
3U Cubesat Service Demo • Based on existing blocks and COTS
• With the SAC IOD programme we can launch a service demo within 18 months (one sat)
• Data/Tracker Terminal • very low size, weight, power and cost
• On board processing solution
• On Ground processing solution • Very high capacity
• A ‘ready to fly’ solution with the most critical and costly elements of VLE comms

Why?
• Risks are low • Critical components already developed
• Mostly COTS based hardware
• Potential gains are high • « wow » effect of service demonstration
• Validation of key elements in the service chain
• Early start of service – with route to full exploitation
• Opportunity for service providers
