Satlabs Space Systems has raised $1 million from Finvolve and India Accelerator (IA) and plans to tackle a very real problem.
What’s poppin’: Satlabs is building a data relay network that helps satellites send earth observation data faster, cutting delays from hours to minutes and eventually aiming for near real-time.
That kind of speed can be a game-changer for defence, farming, disaster response, offshore energy, and industrial IoT.
With the new funding, the startup will boost R&D, speed up satellite deployment, and expand its relay network. It is also moving closer to launching its proof-of-concept relay satellite, with a phased rollout planned over the next few years.
Looking ahead: in the long run, Satlabs wants to go beyond space data and enable non-terrestrial IoT connectivity, bringing real-time communication to places where mobile networks simply don’t reach.
