New Satellite Company, Logos Space, Files with FCC to Build LEO Constellation

Satellite-based communications businesses have been making news recently, including a brand-new start-up. Milo Medin and Rama Akella—veterans in the space technology and broadband networks sectors—announced the launch of Logos Space Services. The satellite communications operator, which filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in October to construct, launch, and operate a non-geostationary orbit system, is targeting enterprise customers. Logos Space offers MPLS and ethernet connectivity, allowing enterprises and telecom providers to extend cloud, data center, and communication networks globally with fiber-like performance without using the internet. Internet access, however, is a choice for customers such as airlines and maritime transport. Logos also provides backup communications for fiber-connected companies.
