Summary
Exosat builds thousands of low-cost communication satellites to create a sovereign alternative to Starlink for countries outside the U.S. and China. Founded by Edward Ge, who previously co-founded Aethero and launched 2 satellites, they avoid export-controlled components to manufacture satellites at under a tenth of traditional costs. They sell connectivity to device manufacturers and network operators, with plans to run low-latency inference for robots and autonomous vehicles. They have signed $400M+ in letters of intent with operators across Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, and hold an 11,000 satellite filing with the ITU.
