Novelsat’s multi-purpose video gateway selected by multiple satellite operators and media broadcasters to empower media delivery networks
NOVELSAT, an Israeli content connectivity solutions provider, has announced that its new multi-purpose video gateway, NOVELSAT Xstream, has been selected and deployed by multiple satellite operators and media broadcasters to empower media delivery networks.
The NOVELSAT Xstream is designed to increase operational efficiency and address the needs of multi-connectivity satellite networks requiring an end-to-end video gateway. It consists of a high-density architecture incorporating multiple satellite modulators/de-modulators, supporting the NOVELSAT NS4TM waveform, as well as standard DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X. Find out more here.
Reportedly, several leading satellite operators and media broadcasters have selected NOVELSAT Xstream for their satellite video networks.
In March 2022, NOVELSAT also received a multi-million dollar award to provide the ground network for a major Earth Observation (EO) constellation. The project also included the provisioning of NOVELSAT Xstream multi-purpose gateways in multiple ground stations around the world, providing hundreds of image data downlinks for the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites.

Farmonaut and Troforte Innovations to provide satellite based crop monitoring in Australia & New Zealand
Farmonaut, an Indian agricultural technology and satellite imagery service provider, has partnered with Australia-based fertilizer company Troforte Innovations to provide satellite-based crop monitoring services to farmers in Australia and New Zealand.
The company aims to map over 1 million hectares of farmland by the end of this year in order to monitor crop health, water stress, evapotranspiration, soil organic carbon, weather forecasting, and so much more, using the technology provided by Farmonaut. Find out more here.
Satellite-based EO applications for agriculture have grown and improved over the years and are emerging to be one of the most promising technology areas for providing valuable information for downstream customers.
With increasing demands to increase operational efficiencies, and effectively manage emergency alerts, the EO sector has reached new levels of innovation for the downstream market; particularly in terms of data analytics and information services. Along with agriculture, EO applications are also proving to be beneficial for several other sectors, such as maritime, infrastructure management, urban development, disaster management, and defense.
Recently, an American synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite operator, Capella Space, announced three new integrated analytics capabilities into its image-tasking web application - Vessel Detection, Change Detection, and Global Change Monitoring. With these new products from Capella Space, customers can task and collect high-resolution SAR imagery on demand, as well as gain automated insights into the imagery.

EarthDaily Analytics establishes the Support Ukrainian Farmers Coalition (SUFC) and provides free-of-charge agricultural geoanalytics to Ukrainian farmers
EarthDaily Analytics (EDA), a satellite data processing and analytics company, has announced the launch of the Support Ukrainian Farmers Coalition (SUFC). The group is a global coalition of industry, NGO, and governmental partners working together to support to the farmers of Ukraine.
The SUFC’s initial efforts have focused on providing free-of-charge agricultural geoanalytics to Ukrainian farmers spanning over seven million acres, enabling them to optimize production in the resource-scarce environment imposed by the ongoing war.
A collaboration between the Ukraine-based agro-consulting company Agrilab and EarthDaily Analytics has also helped establish this coalition, paired with cutting-edge geoanalytics and data processing tools. Find out more here.
This collaboration has further made it possible for Agrilab to provide immediate and direct support to agronomists, partners, and ultimately the Ukrainian farmers. By expanding the SUFC network, the partners are hoping to bring diverse resources and unique capabilities through collective action; which will ultimately help counter several challenges in Ukraine’s agricultural sector.
Organizations interested in partnering with SUFC or parties looking for additional information about the coalition and its efforts are encouraged to visit the dedicated page of the EarthDaily Analytics website here.
