Space42 and Indonesia’s Telkomsat to collaborate on D2D satellite

LEO satellite operator Eutelsat OneWeb says last week’s service outage that lasted for 48 hours was down to a software glitch in its ground segment that didn’t take leap years into account.

Thai technology company True Corporation has announced a partnership with GalaxySpace, a leading Chinese company in the low Earth orbit (LEO) internet satellites sector.

Cellular operators cannot hope to match the coverage that satellite delivers, but this advantage has long made the technology prohibitively expensive for providing widespread connectivity.
