KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 (Bernama) — Geespace has successfully launched the fifth orbital plane of its GEESATCOM, known as Geely Constellation, from Rizhao, China, on Sept 9.
In a statement, the company said 11 satellites were deployed in a single launch, all of which entered orbit and are operating normally, bringing the total number of in-orbit satellites to 52.
The constellation is on track to complete its first-phase deployment of 64 satellites within the next month, enabling real-time global data connectivity except in polar regions.
GEESATCOM is designed to support satellite Internet of Things (IoT) and inter-satellite communication across various sectors, including connected vehicles, marine fisheries, construction machinery, low-altitude mobility, emergency response, transportation, public infrastructure, energy, agriculture and forestry.
The company is also accelerating international expansion, partnering with organisations in over 20 countries.
In the Middle East and Africa, Geespace has established collaborations with Azyan Telecom in Oman, ATSS in Saudi Arabia and Soremar in Morocco.
In Southeast Asia, it has formed a joint venture with Malaysia’s ALTEL, while in South America it is working with Argentina’s Orbith to explore integrated Low-Earth Orbit-Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (LEO-GEO) applications.
As deployment nears completion, Geespace will continue expanding global cooperation to drive large-scale commercialisation of LEO satellite IoT, supporting smart mobility, industrial transformation and digital economy growth worldwide.
