How Space-Based Asset Tracking Is Becoming a Real Business
from Space Business with Fexingo: Launch Companies, Satellites, and Commercial Spaceflight · host Fexingo
In this episode of Space Business with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the rapidly growing market for space-based asset tracking. With over 5,000 satellites now in low Earth orbit, a new class of companies is using narrowband IoT connectivity to track everything from shipping containers to cattle in remote areas. Lucas breaks down the economics: how a $50 satellite can generate $200,000 in annual revenue per device, and why companies like swarm technologies have already deployed over 1 million tracking units. Luna challenges the viability of the business model, asking about network latency and competition from terrestrial IoT. Together they examine the real-world use cases, from supply chain logistics to environmental monitoring, and discuss why investors are pouring over $2 billion into space-based IoT companies this year. #SpaceBasedAssetTracking #IoT #SatelliteConnectivity #SwarmTechnologies #SupplyChain #Logistics #NarrowbandIoT #LowEarthOrbit #SpaceBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #CommercialSpace #SatelliteIoT #AssetTracking #SpaceEconomy #Technology #IndustrialIoT #RemoteMonitoring Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
