Kepler Communications is a satellite communications company that is working towards establishing an in-space telecommunications network for space-borne assets. Put simply, we are building cell phone towers in space. This infrastructure will resolve the problem of intermittent connectivity for non-geostationary satellites, will open new businessopportunities that necessitate real-time connectivity to satellites, and will reduce reliance on costly and difficult to deploy ground infrastructure.The company is currently developing technologies and delivering services that solved terrestrial connectivity needs, offering terrestrial wideband and soon-to-be narrowband connectivity services for IoT applications.With Kepler's first service, named Global Data ServiceTM, they have been able to pack more Mbps into a nanosatellite than anybody else ever before. This wideband service delivers a store-and-forward type of solution for companies needing to move large quantities of delay-tolerant data from regions where connectivity is limited or non-existent. It is designed to transfer 100s of GBs of data monthly between remote locations and company headquarters or the internet. This service is available today for trials.Kepler is also developing a satellite service for Internet of Things devices – called everywhereIoTTM. A low-power, low-cost, bi-directional narrowband satellite service that will allow to connect assets all around the globe (at sea, land and even in the poles). With two satellites already in orbit, and a third scheduled for launch later in 2019, the company is currently preparing the deployment of its first LEO constellation for 2020.
