Sateliot, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, is a satellite telecommunications operator focusing on providing global IoT connectivity under the 5G protocol. The company is deploying a LEO nanosatellite constellation that functions as telecommunications towers in space, offering 5G IoT coverage to mobile operators through roaming services. Sateliot partners with companies like Telefonica, AWS, Comfone, and Eseye to extend mobile telecom coverage to 100% of the planet, targeting sectors such as telecommunications, logistics, mining, and agriculture.
