As satellites become smarter and handle more data, the need for advanced on-board computing is skyrocketing. Ramon.Space is rising to meet this demand by developing “space resilient computing infrastructure targeted to serve the next generation of satellite and spacecraft to make them smarter.”
According to Avi Shabtai, CEO of Ramon.Space, their technology enables satellites to efficiently “store it, process it or move” the vast amounts of data they generate.
“We provide systems for three types of services and applications,” Shabtai explained recently. “One would be Earth observation and remote sensing satellites where there is a continuous need to have more storage on board and to make the satellite more efficient and to monetize it in a better way.”
But that’s just one application. Ramon.Space also provides “very advanced communication systems that are starting to look more and more like base stations in orbit,” paving the way for 5G satellite connectivity with devices on Earth.
Shabtai sees a convergence on the horizon between terrestrial and space networks, driven by consumer and business demand for ubiquitous connectivity.
“We will see roaming mechanisms,” he said. “I do believe it’s for the benefit of the consumers and the businesses that need the connectivity.”
With over 100 missions under their belt since 2014 spanning Earth orbit to the Jupiter asteroid explorer Hayabusa2, Ramon.Space aims to accelerate the new space economy through intelligent satellite infrastructure.
“We look forward to seeing more in the future,” Shabtai stated.
