Real-Time Insights
SkyAI™ transforms satellites into intelligent decision-making platforms. By processing data directly upon acquisition, it delivers actionable insights instantly — reducing latency and enabling autonomous operations in orbit. This real-time capability ensures faster responses and more efficient mission outcomes.
Optimised Bandwidth Efficiency
Satellite sensors generate immense volumes of data. Traditionally, this data was simply transmitted to the ground. SkyAI™ changes that. By applying onboard intelligence, it prioritises the most valuable information for downlink, ensuring optimal use of limited bandwidth and empowering faster, data-driven decision-making in space.
Adaptable and Future-Proof
Static onboard algorithms can become obsolete even before launch. SkyAI™ ensures long-term adaptability through continuous, high-speed in-flight algorithm updates. This keeps missions agile and relevant, enabling satellites to evolve dynamically with changing objectives and environments throughout their entire lifespan.
Satellite-as-a-Service Flexibility
SkyAI™ redefines space operations with multi-tenant, hot-swappable algorithms. Multiple customer applications can run concurrently on-board, adapting instantly based on geolocation or mission context. This creates an unprecedented level of flexibility — turning satellites into dynamic, service-oriented platforms for the New Space era.
