Washington DC, USA, March 14, 2023 – Astrocast, a leading global nanosatellite IoT network operator, is awarded “Company to Watch” at the MSUA Satellite Mobile Innovation Awards during the 2023 Satellite Conference. 

The Mobile Satellite Users Association (MSUA) is a global not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting satellite mobile innovation and development worldwide and amplifying the voice of millions of satellite service users for mobile communication, navigation, and safety.

Astrocast launched a commercially available cost-effective, bidirectional satellite IoT (SatIoT) solution to connect IoT devices globally outside of cell-based terrestrial networks, which cannot access 85% of the world. Accessibility to Astrocast’s SatIoT solutions, services and modules can transform the business model for global IoT, opening the door to new, powerful applications that will accelerate change and deliver value to businesses, individuals and the environment. 

Astrocast is the only New Space IoT LEO network with commercial access to L-band spectrum. Its miniaturized Astronode Patch Antenna is small enough to be integrated into any asset, enabling very portable solutions. Optimized for direct-to-satellite IoT applications, the Astronode S module offers the lowest peak power consumption on the market. 

The MSUA announced the awards for top satellite mobile innovations during the 2023 SATELLITE Conference in Washington, D.C., on March 14. The awards luncheon featured keynote speaker Antonio Franchi, Head of the 5G and 6G Strategic Program at the European Space Agency (ESA).
