| 2022 was a very exciting year for Swarm! We launched 44 more satellites into orbit, reduced latencies, launched new products, expanded into new countries, and grew sales and production by 10x! As we take a look back at our top milestones over the past 12 months, we want to thank our customers, partners, team members, families, and friends for all the hard work and support that has gotten us to where we are today. |
| Supported hundreds of high-impact customer use cases on the Swarm network! Swarm has continued to support a fast-growing number of new and existing customers on the Swarm network. The global impact of Swarm integrated solutions is truly amazing to see through applications ranging from renewable energy to environmental conservation and disaster response. The commercialization of the Swarm M138 Modem has enabled Swarm’s customers to design, test, and manufacture satellite connected devices at a fraction of the cost of existing satellite solution providers. Latency Reductions. Swarm’s latency, time between satellite passes, has decreased over the course of 2022 thanks to three different launches totaling 44 satellites. Swarm’s average latencies are now below 1 hour! Swarm has additional launches scheduled for 2023 which will support the expansion of Swarm’s global IoT network. Launched the Swarm Asset Tracker in September to provide an end-to-end solution to track heavy machinery, vehicles, and other remote assets. The Swarm Asset Tracker functions anywhere in the world using Swarm’s global satellite network, and is ideally suited for remote locations that lack terrestrial network coverage. Customers can view their assets on a map for easy tracking or use Swarm’s API to push data to their backend Market Expansion. Swarm made major progress on regulatory approvals in 2022. Swarm added 9 countries to its list of commercially approved countries bringing the total number to 21. The full list of countries where Swarm currently has commercial approvals is: USA, Antarctica, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Georgia, Germany, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, New Zealand, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and International Waters. SparkFun Satellite Transceiver Kit Launch. SparkFun launched an M138 Modem satellite transceiver kit that enables any user to access the full functionality of the Swarm network via the Swarm M138 Modem. In addition to the kit, SparkFun also created an Arduino Library and Python GUI that makes it super easy for developers to get up and running on the Swarm network. |
