Addvalue Technologies said its data relay terminal was successfully launched into a low earth orbit (LEO) on Wednesday onboard the VELOX-II satellite by an Indian rocket.
The VELOX-II satellite, which was built by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under contract by subsidiary Addvalue Innovation, carries the proprietary data relay terminal as its primary payload. Also aboard the rocket launch were other Singapore developed satellites.
The Addvalue’s data relay terminal is an essential component of its new LEO Inter-Satellite Data Relay System (IDRS). Addvalue first announced its joint collaboration with NTU to test its IDRS concept on the VELOX-II satellite in November last year.
Addvalue’s IDRS addresses a long standing constraint on the operation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Currently, communication with LEO satellites is only available when the satellite is within sight of an earth station. Further, this connectivity is limited by a rigid time schedule based on the particular LEO satellite orbit and the geographic placement of the earth stations.
With the launch of the VELOX-II satellite, Addvalue will be able to demonstrate the technical feasibility of IDRS to provide high capacity on-demand 24/7 two-way IP-based data services for LEO satellite missions.
“It is definitely a very important first step for us to scale a new frontier as we look forward to demonstrating the capability of IDRS to provide enhanced communications service for LEO satellite operators,” says Tan Khai Pang, Chief Operating and Technology Officer of Addvalue.
Addvalue last traded at 3.9 cents.
