Swiss Astrocast, a satellite IoT ( Internet of Things) network provider is participating at GITEX 2022.

After a successful first GITEX in 2021, Astrocast is back, this time at the Swiss Pavilion, which promotes investment and entrepreneurship in Switzerland on behalf of the Swiss Confederation and Cantons.

Astrocast is a satellite IoT (SatIoT) service provider, which operates the only Swiss global nano-satellite IoT network. Astrocast is a listed company on Euronext Growth Oslo and the company recently acquired Hiber, a Netherlands-based, IoT-as-a-Service provider.

“With only 15 percent of the planet covered by cellular networks, the 85 percent remaining are oceans, deserts, mountains, or remote places that only satellite connectivity can reach. Astrocast solves the IoT blind spot and helps companies expand their IoT strategy, enabling them to deploy sensors and IoT devices into remote regions of the world,” the company said in a statement.

Cost-effective satellite connectivity has become a reality for industries such as Agriculture & Livestock, Maritime, Environment & Utilities, which can now monitor, track, and communicate with remote assets from anywhere in the world.
