exactEarth and Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) were awarded the Individual Alliance Excellence Award, a very competitive category. The two companies were recognized for their groundbreaking low-Earth orbit satellite tracking system that enables government agencies around the world to track all ships at sea beyond port areas—an industry first. This system, exactAIS®, enhances maritime domain awareness around the world, with superior detection capability that captures many times more vessels than any other system in a single satellite pass.
“It is a tremendous inspiration for us that our close cooperation with exactEarth is being recognized in this way,” said Fredrik Landmark, Senior VP -Business Development of KSAT.
“We are extremely proud and honoured to receive this award,” said Philip Miller, VP of Operations and Engineering at exactEarth. “Our strategic alliance with KSAT is of utmost importance to our daily operations as we rely heavily on them to provide real-time data downlinks that are crucial to the exactAIS® service we provide to customers worldwide.”
