Problem
Many IoT deployments require reliable, worldwide connectivity, but existing satellite services are costly, rely on geostationary platforms with high latency, and often lack robust protection against emerging cyber threats such as quantum attacks.
Solution
WISeSat delivers a low‑cost LEO satellite constellation that provides global, low‑latency connectivity for IoT devices without dependence on third‑party operators. The network incorporates WISeKey’s digital‑trust platform and SEALSQ’s post‑quantum cryptography, ensuring end‑to‑end data confidentiality and integrity now and in the future. Devices connect through a plug‑and‑play interface, allowing rapid integration into existing IoT ecosystems. By operating at low Earth orbit, the service reduces transmission latency compared with traditional GEO systems while keeping operational expenses low. The solution supports a wide range of applications, from smart farming and energy monitoring to maritime, aviation, and environmental data collection.
