IoT connectivity coming to remote parts of Portugal following Lacuna and dstelecom partnership
Despite global advancements in connectivity, many remote areas in Portugal are still left underserved. Now, thanks to collaboration between Lacuna Space, a leader in satellite Internet of Things (IoT), and dstelecom, the leading Portuguese neutral fibre optic network, these regions are on the brink of a technological transformation.
Under an agreement signed at The Things Conference, a leading event for IoT innovations held in Amsterdam, Lacuna Space and dstelecom will jointly market and promote IoT services in Portugal. As part of this initiative, dstelecom, member of the New Space Portugal project funded by RRF, will be responsible for delivering an IoT payload on three satellites. The IoT payload, supplied by Lacuna Space, with proven technology, will ensure an effective commercial solution. In these three satellites, the gateway’s capacity will be shared by both dstelecom and Lacuna, benefiting both companies, by enhancing global IoT connectivity and reaching previously unreachable areas in Portugal.
