弗吉尼亞州麥克萊恩,2024 年 4 月 2 日/PRNewswire/-- 銥星通訊公司 全球語音和數據衛星通信的領先提供商納斯達克股票代碼:IRDM)今天宣佈已完成對的收購 Satelles, Inc. 此次收購的完成使Iridium成爲高度安全的基於衛星的時間和定位服務的領導者,這些服務補充和保護GPS和其他依賴GNSS的系統。
Now referred to as Iridium Satellite Time and Location (STL), the service joins the Iridium portfolio of solutions available for direct integration by the company's ecosystem of approximately 500 partners around the world. Iridium STL makes it easy to secure GPS and other GNSS-reliant systems' time-synchronized applications from vulnerabilities like spoofing and jamming, using small, low-cost hardware that doesn't require outdoor antennas. The solution helps secure critical infrastructure, data centers, 5G base stations and applications across the aviation, maritime, land mobile and IoT sectors.
現在被稱爲 Iridium 衛星時間和位置(STL),該服務加入了Iridium的解決方案組合,可由該公司在全球約500個合作伙伴組成的生態系統直接集成。Iridium STL使用不需要室外天線的小型低成本硬件,可以輕鬆保護GPS和其他依賴GNSS系統的時間同步應用程序免受欺騙和干擾等漏洞的影響。該解決方案有助於保護航空、海事、陸地移動和物聯網領域的關鍵基礎設施、數據中心、5G基站和應用程序。
"The initial feedback we've gotten from partners in the short time since the initial announcement has made us even more excited about Iridium STL's potential. We're ready to step on the gas and expand the availability of Iridium STL to markets around the world," said Iridium CEO, Matt Desch. "With our experienced partner ecosystem and global footprint, this needed capability can quickly help make the critical services we all rely on every day more efficient, reliable and secure."
“自首次發佈以來,我們在短時間內從合作伙伴那裏得到的初步反饋使我們對Iridium STL的潛力更加興奮。我們已準備好加油,將銥STL的供應範圍擴大到全球市場。” 銥星首席執行官馬特·德施說。“憑藉我們經驗豐富的合作伙伴生態系統和全球足跡,這種所需的能力可以迅速幫助我們每天依賴的關鍵服務更加高效、可靠和安全。”
Enabled by the Iridium satellite constellation's crosslinked LEO architecture, Iridium STL delivers truly global, secure time and location signals that are 1,000 times more powerful than GNSS constellations, works indoors and continues to work during regional GNSS system outages. Iridium anticipates the Iridium STL line of business will generate over $100 million in service revenue per year by 2030, with additional revenue from equipment and engineering. The closing of this transaction marks completion of the first acquisition of another company in Iridium's history.
在銥衛星星座的交聯低軌道架構的支持下,Iridium STL可提供真正的全球安全時間和位置信號,其功率是GNSS星座的1,000倍,可在室內運行,並在區域GNSS系統中斷期間繼續工作。Iridium預計,到2030年,Iridium STL的業務線每年將產生超過1億美元的服務收入,另外還有來自設備和工程的收入。該交易的完成標誌着Iridium歷史上對另一家公司的首次收購的完成。
