About Exosat

Exosat is building thousands of low-cost communication satellites to provide a neutral, sovereign alternative to Starlink. By designing our satellites with zero ITAR/EAR-controlled content, we can leverage manufacturers anywhere in the world to produce our satellites at under a tenth of the cost and launch them from other nations to bypass capacity bottlenecks and access equatorial orbits. We're starting off by selling connectivity to device OEMs and network operators, but will eventually use the distributed compute across our constellation to run low-latency inference for robots and autonomous vehicles in remote and rural areas anywhere on the planet. We've already signed hundreds of millions in LOIs to work with operators across Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, booked our first satellite launch next year, and hold an 11,000 satellite filing with the ITU to build the largest comms network outside of the U.S. and China.
