BARCELONA (Sateliot PR) — Sateliot, the satellite telecommunications operator, is preparing with a dozen companies and the Spanish Ministry of Defense -as a potential user- the deployment of a constellation of low-orbit nanosatellites that, in addition to the democratization of IoT with 5G coverage, will also enable a secure information exchange system using QKD quantum keys.

This is a cross-cutting project led by Sateliot, which will involve an investment of more than 176 million euros and has just been submitted to the Spanish Ministry of Industry as part of the Program for the Promotion of Industrial Competitiveness and Sustainability projects that will serve as a guide for the allocation of European Next Generation funds. With this project, the consortium seeks to position Spain as a world reference in 5G IoT constellations and secure global communications, enabling the Spanish industrial sector to digitize as a priority.
