Dhruva Space has collaborated with Kineis to introduce Kineis internet of things (IoT) connectivity in India and to launch a Kineis IoT payload on the Dhruva Space P-30 satellite. The collaboration is a groundbreaking initiative for the companies to fortify global satellite connectivity.
Through the collaboration, Dhruva Space will provide Kineis IoT services in India and develop new and innovative applications that can receive support from Kineis’ 25-satellite constellation.
In addition, this collaboration comprises a joint satellite mission to augment the space segment capacity for India. Meanwhile, the collaboration will allow both companies to offer cost-effective, advanced and reliable IoT solutions and innovate and develop new applications and services tailored to the Indian market.
Furthermore, the collaboration underscores the growing partnership between Indian and French private space companies. The full-scale global commercial service availability of Kineis IoT will commence following the complete deployment of Kineis’ constellation in early 2025 which Dhruva Space will support through development and large-scale manufacturing for end-user terminals for India.
