There’s a lot of detailed analysis on this question about two or three pages back. Links, etc.
In summary:
- disruptively inexpensive hardware, about 1/20 the cost per sat against SpaceX projections. Importantly, this allows for a much more aggressive hardware refresh and upgrade schedule over other sat companies.
- revolutionary operational profile with autonomous control that makes it both inexpensive to operate from both the human and ground station requirements.
- narrow band (sas) v broadband (spaceX). SAS offer lesser and sognifiacantly cheaper services targeting an underserved (because poor) market. The companies are chasing different dollars.
- first mover. For all the talk, sas is the first (and still only) nano-sat company to conduct live tests of phone calls, data and financial transactions.
IMO; DYOR
