A constellation soon to be complete

Under the cap of the Electron rocket, five nanosatellites will strengthen the Kinéis constellation, dedicated to IoT and AIS solutions. With nearly 20 satellites in orbit out of the 25 planned, the constellation is nearing completion.

Once deployed, it will provide global coverage, enabling location tracking, monitoring, and alerts within just a few minutes, anywhere on Earth.

"IoT 4 You and Me": A mission with purpose

Named "IoT 4 You and Me", this mission is inspired by Michael Jackson's famous song Heal the World, which calls for unity and solidarity to build a better world.

Through its satellite connectivity, Kinéis addresses major challenges of our time.

In the spirit of Michael Jackson's iconic lyrics: "Let’s make this world a better place, for you, for me, and for all living beings," Kinéis is committed to connecting the world, for you and for what matters most to you.
