Plan-S continues to redefine global connectivity innovation with the launch of four new satellites for the Connecta IoT Network (Batch-2). Building on the proven successes of their predecessors, these satellites feature enhanced technology and capabilities, reaffirming Plan-S’s dedication to cutting-edge solutions and reliable performance.

Operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) within a compact 6U design, these satellites integrate meticulously verified components from Batch-1, including the IoT Payloads, and associated antennas, software, and link designs. While these subsystems have already earned their place in space history, they have become even more efficient through continuous software and hardware updates and improvements, ensuring greater reliability and performance in the Connecta IoT Network.  

Launched aboard SpaceX's Transporter-12 mission, these satellites feature three distinctive communication links at control and data levels: Inter-Satellite Link (ISL), High-Speed Data Link, and TM/TC link. Together, these elements highlight Plan-S’s commitment to creating a highly interconnected satellite ecosystem.

The Connecta IoT Network Satellites (Batch-2) exemplify the evolution of satellite technology, blending space-proven designs with innovative advancements to deliver a powerful, efficient, and transformative platform for global connectivity.
