Small Satellites Expand 5G NTN IoT Network Capacity
Alén Space, a subsidiary of GMV, has successfully launched five small satellites into orbit for Sateliot’s Draconis mission, aimed at expanding the capacity of its 5G NTN IoT network. The satellites, launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket on SpaceX’s Transporter-18 mission, feature technological improvements and will reduce the time between satellite passes, increasing connection opportunities. This mission marks another milestone in Alén Space’s small satellite production capabilities, with the company delivering the satellites in half the time required for the previous mission. The launch was reported by GMV.
