Swarm’s low-cost satellite data network available to commercial clients

Swarm, which now operates 81 of its sandwich-sized satellites on orbit, announced that its network service is live and available to commercial customers.

The network is low-power and low-bandwidth, ideally suited for situations that require relatively low amounts of data transfer, but on a regular frequency over very long durations.
That describes a wide range of use cases, such as logistics, agriculture, and other Internet of Things (IoT ) deployments.

Its service is available for just $5 per month per connected device (with a one-time cost of $119 for each Swarm Tile itself), which is far below any other satellite service available today.
