The upgraded WISeSAT.Space satellite will be equipped with SEALSQ (Nasdaq: LAES) semiconductor technology and WISeKey cryptographic keys to secure the new FOSSASAT-2E satellite. This satellite is designed to boost performance in space and communication capabilities with SEALSQ IoT microchips installed in devices. In cooperation with FOSSA Systems, WISeSAT.Space has successfully launched 17 low-orbit satellites mainly aboard the SpaceX Transporter Rideshare missions and is currently developing a constellation of 88 additional low-orbit satellites to optimize global coverage for SEALSQ IoT devices.
WISeSAT.Space's business model is centered on providing global satellite based secure IoT connectivity as a service. This includes providing the satellite platform, launch, integration, ground station services, and all security architecture and components as part of a comprehensive SaaS solution for low-power, secure space-based IoT connectivity.
Building upon the comprehensive survey conducted in 2023 on behalf of armasuisse, the R&D and procurement agency of the
For 2024, the focus is on a telecommunication in LEO-IoT (Low Earth Orbit Internet of Things) project aimed at advancing the findings of the 2023 study. Key objectives outlined by the Swiss Armed Forces include expanding the IoBT (Internet Of Battlefield Things) and SIGINT concepts to explore the feasibility of utilizing space segments with low frequencies for electronic reconnaissance purposes. The project also aims to demonstrate recurring narrowband connections between objects via WISeSAT satellites and ground stations to enhance training for
A comprehensive study will be conducted to delve into advanced encryption protocols and network utility enhancements while minimizing susceptibility to SIGINT detection, interception, and jamming. Initial concepts for IoT payloads on various platforms and their application for SIGINT purposes will be explored.
In the subsequent phase, the focus will shift towards developing or integrating implementations based on identified open-source resources in the initial study. Operational training and demonstrations will provide an overview of the system, configuring satellites, and common software usage. This phase may also include ground and user segment demonstrations, along with configuration options and operational considerations. Insights and lessons learned from this phase will be incorporated into the final study report.
The partnership between WISeKey and the Swiss Armed Forces was signed in 2022 and is part of the private/public cooperation applied to the space sector. The intent of the Swiss Armed Forces to develop space-based capabilities has been published in
