Pune-based start-up plans pan-India satellite broadband coverage

Pune-based Vestaspace Technology is attempting to launch a constellation of over 35 satellites to build 5G network connections across the country.

The company is set to release a beta version of the satellite constellations this September, and the launch of a fully operational constellation of satellites in early 2021. The company is installing eight ground stations and 31,000 data receptors all over India. All the constellations of satellites will be placed into the Leo and Geo orbits.

Arun Kumar Sureban, Founder and CEO, Vestaspace Technology, said: “We are on a mission to make space accessible to everyone who once thought satellites were rocket science. Not only this, through our secured connections a common person can also access to the satellites of their choice and to get immersed in the world of space.”
