Space made easy. A personal satellite communication system for those who just need to stay connected.

Project description

Satellites and a small pocket-sized device to keep you always connected

The EU-funded SPACELOOP project is helping the Swiss SME ORBITARE bring to market the first modern, affordable, and European commercial personal satellite communication system. It is designed to keep mariners, people working in the field, and a growing market of adventurers who travel off the beaten track connected with family, followers, and colleagues, and stay always safe with secured access to help in case of emergency. It will allow users to have a pocket-sized terminal with them at all times, so they can hook up their device and continue sending text, audio messages, photos and files of any kind via the SPACELOOP network.
