UbiquitiLink's mission is to provide connectivity to all 7.7 Billion people everywhere on the Earth. To deliver ubiquitous connectivity, we are developing a cellular nanosatellite communications network. This network will literally function as "cell towers in orbit."? Existing smartphones, GSM/LTE capable feature phones, and cellular Machine-to-Machine/Internet of Things (M2M/IoT) devices anywhere on Earth will be able to connect to our orbiting cell towers with no modification to the devices' hardware or software and no additional user terminals. Our system will provide affordable, ubiquitous global C4ISR, enhanced situational awareness, and enable rapid decision-making with beyond-line-of-site portable and mobile communications. This communication tool will fill in connectivity gaps and aid real time status updates from our forces and inform command and control on emerging threats and opportunities. This system also enhances resiliency for communications and enhances operational capabilities at the edge.
