Connectivity

In the summer of 2024, Kinéis, a French satellite operator and provider of global connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT), will launch its constellation of 25 nanosatellites, the first European constellation dedicated to the IoT with global coverage. Satellite constellations are rare, but the deployment of the Kinéis constellation is an unprecedented event which,…

What is a satellite constellation? We’re all familiar with the Ursa Major and Orion constellations. However did you know that they’re not the only type of constellation in existence? With the emergence of the New Space era, different types of space missions have emerged, whether for space exploration, telecommunications, or Earth observation. To carry out…

ANGELS offers a new very low-data rate modulation for IoT  With the launch of ANGELS and the first ARGOS-Neo miniaturized payload, a new modulation is now available for satellite IoT and all devices already connected with Kinéis/ARGOS.  Named VLD-A4 for “Very Low Data rate – ARGOS-4”, this new modulation was specifically designed by CNES to…

Kinéis has introduced a new offer to its catalog called SmartSat. This offer provides access to a library of documentation for quick and easy communication with satellites using commercially available components.
