About Lacuna Space
Lacuna Space, based in the UK and The Netherlands, is a global Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity provider. It offers low cost, easy and reliable global connections to sensors and mobile equipment everywhere. The company is revolutionising the connection of sensors and equipment to the internet with low-power, wide-area networking technology. This connection revolution is being built around open-standards, such as Semtech’s LoRa® (long range), and freely available network chips that developers can easily configure into flexible and secure networks, ready to be deployed publicly, privately or by communities.
Lacuna Space’s plan is to deploy a constellation of 32 small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) forming the Lacuna Network. Because the satellites travel in polar orbits, the Lacuna Network will provide ubiquitous coverage for devices in regions without reliable wireless coverage.
The company works closely with The Things Network in Amsterdam. Its network includes developers and collaborators in the US, France, Slovenia, and Switzerland.
