Mangata Networks, founded in 2020, is a satellite-enabled network and cloud services company that aims to provide affordable and accessible connectivity to anyone, anywhere on the planet. They are building a global satellite telecommunications network using a combination of HEO (highly elliptical orbit) and MEO (medium Earth orbit) satellite constellations, combined with terrestrial MangataEdge™ micro data centers to extend the cloud to the edge of the network. Mangata is working with partners like Avanade and Microsoft to develop AI-enabled edge-to-cloud services with satellite connectivity and has secured funding to establish manufacturing and R&D facilities in Scotland. Key words: satellite constellation, telecommunications, cloud services, HEO, MEO, edge computing, 5G, IoT.
