tb innovations Ltd. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Hyunmin GO) provides total services for the terrestrial segment for orbiting satellites through the Tokyo Boeki Group's CVC fund "Next New Business New Technology No. 1 Investment Limited Partnership". We have invested in Infostellar Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Naomi Kurahara, hereinafter referred to as "Infostellar"), which provides services.
With the vision of "We connect Earth and Space to empower the future," Infostellar provides highly flexible and scalable ground station networks through StellarStation, a cloud platform that virtualizes ground station networks.We also provide support for the ground segment operations necessary for satellite operations, such as obtaining radio licenses and frequency adjustment services.
Although the number of small satellites launched by private companies is increasing, the number of ground stations required for communication cannot easily increase due to various factors such as laws and regulations and geographical conditions, and the number of ground stations is insufficient.StellarStation, provided by Infostellar, is a highly flexible and scalable cloud-based ground station platform.Satellite operators can set up once and access ground stations around the world.On the other hand, ground station owners can generate revenue by renting out ground station downtime to other satellite operators.
