WISeKey and FOSSA Systems to Launch New WISeSat -Ready Satellites with SpaceX

Geneva and Zug Switzerland May 19, 2023 WISeKey International Holding Ltd (WISeKey, SIX: WIHN; Nasdaq: WKEY), a leading cybersecurity, IoT and AI company, announced that in cooperation with FOSSA Systems (FOSSA) would be launching several new WISeSat-Ready FOSSA powered satellites with SpaceX, adding to the 13 FOSSA satellites already in orbit.

These new satellites will be part of the 80-satellite constellation which FOSSA has been planning to deploy since early 2022, aiming to provide global and real-time IoT connectivity for industrial applications with a 10-hour data latency. The launch will be carried out by SpaceX on a Falcon 9 Vehicle, no earlier than June 2023.

This next-generation will deliver higher capacity services in a commercial manner for a wider range of applications, supporting IoT and other space-related services in areas such as communications or remote sensing in the fields of Signal Intelligence.

The WISeSaT Satellite is a security-IoT hardened nanosatellite designed to further drive down satellite costs for IoT applications. As more satellites are deployed, WISeSat and FOSSA will offer lower latency times, reaching near real-time data with the 80 satellites projected for 2024. This new FEROX generation of satellites provides unprecedented capabilities comparable to that of 6 12U satellites in a fraction of the size, mass, and cost.

These WISeSaT ready platforms will enable secure and robust IoT connectivity and space-enabled services for assets in remote locations and applications such as maritime shipment, emergency locators, agriculture or farming.

WISeKey is offering this technology to its IoT clients in a SaaS model allowing both remote and redundant urban IoT communications for companies seeking to securely connect their assets via satellite communication covering large and unserved geographic areas such as maritime, deserts, mountains, etc., at affordable prices. WISeKey Trust and Security solutions offer unique integration into an end-to-end platform that communicates in real-time with WISeSat. Satellite by ensuring the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of the devices, objects, data and transactions.

WISeKeys INeS platform uses state-of-the-art cryptographic algorithms to meet the highest standards for issuing, managing, and validating digital credentials for IoT devices, including those connected with WISeSaT.Satellite. This platform is scalable and can support environments for hundreds of millions of devices and sensors, and is able to remotely collect data from the field and transmit to the backend.

Additionally, INeS features Entity Management (any custom attributes such as identities, group, type, role, and life cycle), Message Security Policy Management, and Business Rules Management. Interfacing via the cloud and connecting devices and applications, INeS is capable of remotely identifying credentials and controlling activation, deactivation, revocation, renewal, and secure provisioning.
