Geneva, Switzerland -
September 9, 2021: WISeKey International Holding Ltd
(“WISeKey “) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY),
a leading global cybersecurity, AI, Blockchain and IoT
company, and FOSSA Systems, a Spanish-based leading aerospace
company focused on developing picosatellites for IoT
communications, presented at FIC 2021 in Lille, France, the
WISeSat, a PocketQube satellite that enables IoT connectivity,
encrypted and dedicated with WISeKey’s secure module VaultIC®.
WISeSat is the first cost-effective and secure
IoT connectivity solution anywhere on Earth using picosatellites
and low-power sensors. Its aim is to answer the needs of any large
IoT deployment in agrotech, energy, logistics and more.
WISeSat collects and sends data from terrestrial
sensors, increasing knowledge of the status of assets and offering
essential information to improve processes and optimize production.
These interactions between sensors, gateways, ground stations and
satellites require Trust. WISeSat, by using VaultIC®, a complete
cryptographic toolbox that makes straightforward the integration of
digital security in any satellite device, offers this Trust. It
ensures all Certificate-based Authentication (PKI), Authorization,
Encryption, and Integrity requirements.
The WISeSat constellation will be launched into
orbit this Q4 2021 / Q1 2022, with the deployment of 2 WISeSats on
a SpaceX Falcon 9 Vehicle. The goal is to offer this service in a
SaaS model allowing both remote and redundant IoT communications
for companies seeking to securely connect their assets via
satellite communication, covering large and unserved geographic
areas such as maritime, deserts, mountains, etc., at affordable
prices.
WISeKey and FOSSA Systems are also developing
sensors and gateways with VaultIC® microcontrollers, creating an
ecosystem of secure devices able to communicate with WISeSat using
standardized communication modules. These devices range from mobile
and wearable solutions to industrial ruggedized applications.
Both companies, WISeKey and Fossa Systems, have
presented to their clients this new secure and encrypted solution
for IoT connectivity at FIC Forum the leading European event on
Cybersecurity, which is currently taking place (September 7-9) in
Lille, France.
