Lausanne, Switzerland, December 14^th, 2022 – Astrocast has been recognised by Electronics For You’s “Truly Innovative Electronics” for introducing the Astronode S, a compact surface mount satellite communication (SATCOM) module for highly integrated IoT systems.

Truly Innovative Electronics is an initiative by tech journalists of Electronics For You magazine and Electronicsforu.com, South Asia’s most popular electronics media outlets. The mission of this initiative is to identify, recognise and promote electronics components, boards and modules which are “truly innovative”, as they believe these are critical for solving challenges faced by creators of tech.

This recognition tops off a fantastic year of industry recognition for Astrocast, who was also recently awarded “Most innovative IoT-Satellite Communications Company” by the World Finance Magazine’s Innovation Awards 2022, a renowned publication that honours excellence in a variety of different industries, with categories ranging from innovation, digital banking, sustainability, ESG and energy.

Earlier this year, Astrocast was also nominated for “IoT product of the year” at the Computing’s Technology Product Awards 2022 in August, which rewards the most significant Internet of Things development of the past 12 months that deserve industry-wide praise.
