Exosat
Exosat is building a low-orbit satellite constellation to provide sovereign operators with direct-to-device and broadband connectivity, with its first launch planned for April 2027. The system works with existing ground infrastructure and standard 3GPP modulations, eliminating the need for new hardware or custom gateways. The company targets governments and national carriers seeking independent satellite infrastructure, with pre-filed ITU spectrum available for turnkey constellation delivery.

Problem
The orbital infrastructure that routes petabytes of data and connects billions of people is gate-kept by a few dominant players, leaving governments and operators that depend on it powerless in a multipolar world. This concentration of control limits access, raises costs, and creates geopolitical dependencies for those who rely on satellite connectivity.
Solution
Exosat is building low-orbit satellites to support sovereign operators in direct-to-device (D2C) and broadband connectivity, with a first launch planned for April 2027. The system works with existing ground infrastructure, standard 3GPP modulations, and spectrum, eliminating the need for new hardware or custom gateways. Satellites provide backhaul directly to standard devices without custom hardware, enabling rapid coverage expansion. By integrating with pre-existing devices and infrastructure, Exosat adds reach without the cost of traditional network rollout. User sovereignty is the stated priority: operators gain control over satellite infrastructure and avoid reliance on dominant industry players. The technical approach is designed to minimize friction for adoption while maximizing operational independence.
Target Audience
Primary customers are sovereign operators—governments, national telecom carriers, and defense or public-sector entities—that require independent satellite connectivity for their territories and users. The company also serves enterprise customers across maritime, aviation, logistics, and agriculture sectors.
