Comprehensive Review for Hiber’s IoT Satellite Constellation
Hiber is a company working on remote IoT solutions. When working with ATG, Hiber was on a project to develop a vertically integrated IoT service that leveraged a constellation of satellites to offer global connectivity. ATG’s comprehensive review played a pivotal role in Hiber’s satellite project, facilitating its journey towards offering a reliable IoT communication service.
The challenge
Hiber’s project was in its final stages of satellite development, manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing when they engaged ATG’s services. At this critical phase, Hiber sought an independent review of their entire project to determine whether it was ready for launch. Their goal was clear: to launch the second generation of satellites and provide a reliable IoT communication service to users worldwide. This review needed to encompass multiple disciplines essential for the development of an IoT satellite constellation. Hiber was keen to ensure that their space segment was seamlessly integrated with the ground segment and aligned with their service provision objectives.
The review solution offered by ATG
ATG’s comprehensive review spanned a broad spectrum, including project management, system engineering, product and quality assurance, software and avionics, electronics and power systems, attitude determination and control, structure, mechanisms, thermal control, RF systems, and telecommunications, both in space and on the ground. The multi-disciplinary approach was crucial to evaluate the project’s readiness from all perspectives, ensuring that Hiber’s IoT satellite constellation could operate seamlessly and effectively.
The final review by ATG was presented to a board consisting of senior technical and managerial stakeholders, enabling Hiber to make a well-informed decision.
Feedback from Hiber
Hiber was pleased with the level of support provided. The recommendations made during the final review were essential in guiding the further operation of the system.
One of the key strengths of ATG’s service was the balance achieved between rigor and flexibility.
This approach ensured that Hiber received the highest level of technical scrutiny while also accommodating the unique needs of their project.
