In these emails, we share trending stories from the industry, along with insights from our work operating the global marketplace for space. Let's dive in and take a look at some of the developments that caught our eye last week.
European Commission selects STELLAR Consortium to demonstrate satellite-based services using the Galileo navigation system
The STELLAR consortium, consisting of Telespazio, F24, the European Emergency Number Association, Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales, and Thales Alenia Space, has been awarded a contract to demonstrate satellite-based Emergency Warning Services (EWS) by the Directorate General for Defence Industry and Space (DEFIS) of the European Commission (EC).
In this demonstration, the consortium will utilize the European Global Navigation Satellite System; also known as the Galileo. The EWS is a new service in the Galileo programme, specifically designed for national civil protection authorities to alert populations during emergency events. Find out more about this here.
The objective of the STELLAR project is to demonstrate the potential of this forthcoming satellite-based EWS before it is introduced in the Galileo infrastructure.
Satellite navigation services are currently utilized by almost every industrial segment. While countries such as China are also setting up a commercial roadmap for navigation services, Europe is also expanding navigation services with a key focus on the civil market.
As Europe is also one of the leading regions in the Earth Observation (EO) vertical, the integration of navigation services could also uplift innovation in the downstream market.
Our next stories cover some recent updates to the global EO sector, as well as giving a brief overview of recent developments in the satellite-based Internet of Things (IoT) market.
Orbital Insight launches global site selection and customer intelligence solution
Orbital Insight has announced the launch of Site Intelligence, a solution that provides behavior analysis and uncovers patterns of life for global site selection and customer intelligence.
The Site Intelligence solution integrates multiple data sources such as anonymized cell phone data, vehicle GPS data, satellite imagery, and demographics data. It further applies Orbital Insight’s custom-built algorithms to connect the dots between human behavior and physical locations. Find out more here.
Geolocation data is becoming increasingly mainstream in usage and utility across all industries. Therefore, Site Intelligence leverages machine learning to analyze human behavior and understand target business activities.
Site Intelligence also claims to have the capability to help businesses build alternative forecasting models using location data as critical components for their models, or identify optimal sites for development based on human behavior factors such as visitation paths, dwell time, cross-shopping, and revisits.
Satellite data business cases are expanding as access to technology is growing around the world. We see this trend continuing for many years to come, with models also diversifying in order to take advantage of both new forms of satellite data and emerging uses on the ground.
