On
September 9, 2025, the 5th orbital plane of GEESATCOM, known as Geely
Constellation, was successfully launched from Rizhao, China, with 11 satellites
deployed in a single launch. All satellites entered their designated orbit and
are operating nominally, marking another milestone success for the
constellation’s deployment.
GEESATCOM
focuses on satellite IoT experiments and inter-satellite communication trials
across a wide range of application scenarios, including intelligent connected
vehicles, marine fisheries, construction machinery, low-altitude mobility,
emergency response, transportation and logistics, public infrastructure,
energy, water conservancy, agriculture, forestry, and livestock, while also
supporting Earth observation in environmental monitoring.
Prior to
this launch, Geespace had deployed 41 satellites at 600 km orbit. With the
successful deployment of the 5th orbital plane, and including in-orbit test
satellites, the constellation now totals 52 satellites. The constellation is on
track to complete its first-phase network of 64 satellites, which will enable
seamless, real-time global data connectivity across the world, excluding the
polar regions.
Leveraging
a global strategy and open collaboration with partners across more than 20
countries, Geespace is accelerating the commercial rollout of GEESATCOM
worldwide.
In the
Middle East and Africa, Geespace has partnered with Azyan Telecom in Oman, ATSS
in Saudi Arabia, and Soremar in Morocco, with services covering smart cities,
intelligent transportation, energy, and marine fisheries to support regional
digital economy growth. In Oman, constellation commercial deployment testing
achieved a 99.15% communication success rate and over 99.97% network
availability, demonstrating full commercial capability.
In
Southeast Asia, Geespace has established a joint venture, ADISB, with
Malaysia’s ALTEL to advance localized applications of GEESATCOM. The project
has received recognition from Malaysia's government and will pioneer
applications in maritime, agriculture, transportation, and energy across the
region.
In South
America, Geespace has partnered with Argentina’s Orbith to jointly promote
GEESATCOM’s market expansion in the region, while also exploring integrated
applications of LEO and GEO satellites. This cooperation aims to enhance
digital infrastructure in Argentina and South America, providing more inclusive
and extensive connectivity services to local and regional markets.
As
constellation deployment enters its final sprint, Geespace will continue to
work closely with global ecosystem partners to accelerate the large-scale
commercialization of low-Earth orbit satellite IoT, providing solid support for
global smart mobility, industrial upgrading, and digital economy development.
