Iran’s Space Agency has unveiled an ambitious project, the “Shahid Soleimani” satellite telecommunications system, set to redefine the landscape of communications, particularly in the realm of the Internet of Things (IoT). This initiative is part of the agency’s commitment to provide foundational space services, with a primary focus on IoT communications.
Iran’s Space Agency Launches Pioneering Satellite Project for Enhanced IoT Services
According to IDEA, In pursuit of this endeavor, the Iranian Space Agency introduced its maiden satellite telecommunications project, specializing in narrowband communications, under the name “Shahid Soleimani.” To leverage the capabilities of private and government-backed knowledge-based companies in the aerospace sector, a tender was issued for the project’s execution after the initial phase of the tender process.
Through the preliminary phase of the tender process, eligible companies and consortia were identified, leading to the subsequent selection of the winning consortium, composed of both private and government entities, in the second phase of the competition.
Currently, following the appointment of an executor and the initiation of the necessary procedures, a contract has been signed for the design, construction, launch, testing, and delivery of the IoT telecommunications satellite system. This contract signifies a partnership between the Iranian Space Agency and the domestic consortium.
The “Shahid Soleimani” telecommunications system is poised to become Iran’s and the Islamic world’s first domestically built satellite system, relying on domestic expertise and resources. It promises to offer a wide array of high-quality services to government entities, private enterprises, and the general public, marking a significant stride in advancing the capabilities of Iran’s space program.
A Revolutionary Leap in IoT Communications and Infrastructure Oversight
The “Shahid Soleimani” satellite telecommunications system is poised to bring a revolutionary transformation in the realm of communications, particularly in the Internet of Things (IoT). This system enables remote control and issuance of commands to any IoT-connected device, utilizing satellite connectivity. In essence, any object capable of connecting to this system can be managed and instructed via satellite technology.
Moreover, this satellite system proves invaluable in a multitude of other applications, including monitoring water and soil quality, forest surveillance, temperature monitoring in wildfire-prone regions, and tracking soil moisture levels. Sensors connected to this satellite facilitate the swift and efficient transfer of pertinent data.
One of the most critical applications of this satellite system is its use in monitoring and supervising oil and gas transmission pipelines. Through the deployment of communication sensors, control stations can easily monitor pressure levels and the condition of pipelines. This data can be rapidly transmitted via satellite, even to the most remote and hard-to-reach areas across the country, extending beyond terrestrial networks.
The utilization of the “Shahid Soleimani” telecommunications system has the potential to address a myriad of communication challenges in the country, particularly in remote and hard-to-access regions. With the completion of the satellite construction and deployment process, this vital capability will become accessible to both public and private sector entities and is set to play a pivotal role in Iran’s infrastructure and communication landscape.
Iran’s “Shahid Soleimani” Satellite System Clarified: Communication, Not Satellite Internet
The spokesperson for Iran’s Space Agency has officially clarified the nature of the “Shahid Soleimani” satellite system, confirming that it is a narrowband system and not intended for satellite internet services.
Hossein Dalirian, the spokesperson for Iran’s Space Agency, released a tweet to address recent misconceptions. He stated that some media outlets and social media users had wrongly indicated that the “Shahid Soleimani” system would provide satellite internet services.
Delirian emphasized, “This system is narrowband and does not have such a capability. Instead, it is designed to offer services in the field of communications, particularly in areas such as the Internet of Things and foundational space telecommunications.”
This clarification sets the record straight regarding the intended purpose of the “Shahid Soleimani” satellite system, ensuring a clear understanding of its capabilities and application within the realm of communications.
