Internet of Things from Space

It will be called Telum Leo and will include 144 main satellites and eight backup ones. Each nanosatellite will weigh one and a half kilograms. The launch of the first two experimental satellites will take place in December 2023.

By 2030, the global demand for Internet of Things technologies will be more than $620 billion, according to a study by the Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge at the National Research University Higher School of Economics. More than 16% of Russian organizations are already actively using it.

Satellite technologies allow objects to be content writing service connected to the Network regardless of their location and are often in demand in areas without reliable terrestrial telecom infrastructure.

The private company SR Space plans to launch its first satellite in 2024

With its help, specialists want to test the technologies necessary for creating a full-fledged group of such devices, including for testing IoT technology. The satellite will have a throughput of 40 Gbit/s. The device weighing 460 kg is planned to be launched into orbit at an altitude of about 600 km.




The satellite Internet of Things is a secondary payload. This unit will be installed on absolutely every one of our spacecraft and will be united into a single network," Dmitry Monakhov, chief designer of the target payload for the SR Space satellite direction, told RSpectr.

The company does not plan to make a separate special satellite just for this purpose. The grouping will be formed as other devices of any purpose are launched.

Dmitry Monakhov, SR Space:

- If we talk about the approximate amount for creating such a system, the starting point is about 200 million rubles. With a reasonable approach to this project, many valuable products can be created. I think it will be possible to fully recoup it in three to four years.

The company is creating this group using funds from investors, customers and revenue from the previous year.

The users of the new space system of high-speed broadband Internet should be telecom operators, providers and other organizations, including those providing Internet of Things services.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM INTERFERENCE FROM OUTSIDE

All of these companies will have to compete with the low-orbit system “Marathon IoT”, which is part of the federal project “Sphere”, which includes 10 satellite constellations: five for communications services and five for remote sensing of the Earth (ERS).

The first IoT Marathon demonstrator satellite is planned to be launched in 2023

The first stage of the system of 137 satellites will be deployed from 2026, Roscosmos Director General Yuri Borisov announced at the end of 2022.

The orbital group should include 264 satellites, each weighing approximately 50 kg, Valentin Anpilogov, deputy general director of Visat-Tel and the ideologist of the IoT Marathon project, told RSpectr. He noted that

One of the problems with commercializing the system is the relatively high cost of a satellite in orbit.

According to the expert, it is more profitable to create two echelons. One - in inclined orbits, the second - in sun-synchronous orbits for launching spacecraft as a companion load (to remote sensing satellites), in order to open up the possibility of servicing polar regions and reduce the cost of launch services.
