1. How does SPACEiN align with India’s vision of Digital Bharat and Aatmanirbhar
Bharat?

SPACEiN is indigenously built to provide connectivity to India’s remotest corners. With full
Indian control over technology, infrastructure, and innovation, it empowers the Digital India
mission, BharatNet, and defense modernization goals.

2. What is the role of SPACEiN in national security and disaster management?

Our system provides real-time surveillance, communication continuity during disasters,
border communication, AI-powered situational awareness, and emergency services
integration—all without dependency on foreign operators. Also SPACEiN is pioneering HighAltitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS), enabling rapid deployment of communication networks in
minutes during natural disasters, conflict, or blackouts. Our aerial platforms ensure real-time
communication restoration without dependency on ground towers.

3. How can the government collaborate with SPACEiN?

We seek collaboration through:

  • Government R&D support
  • Satcom licenses, ITU clearance, and orbital rights
  • Strategic defense and rural connectivity partnerships
  • Policy frameworks that encourage private satellite deployments

4. How will SPACEiN benefit state-level rural development programs?

We enable smart village deployment, health-tech IoT, agri-data networks, and education systems
through satellite-enabled infrastructure at zero terrestrial dependency, helping states leapfrog
digitally.

1. Can SPACEiN replace traditional telecom in rural areas?

SPACEiN is not here to replace, but to strengthen and extend existing operators. We offer a
layered connectivity system with LEO satellite + HAPS + terrestrial ground nodes, acting as a resilient backbone for telecom operators during outages or capacity surges. Our hybrid
architecture ensures always-on connectivity, even in black zones. 

2. What services do you offer to businesses and industries?

  • High-speed satellite internet
  •  IoT/M2M gateway for logistics, agriculture, mining, oil rigs
  • Disaster-proof communication networks
  • Private SATCOM networks
  • Smart city or smart grid enablement

3. How secure is your SATCOM system for enterprise use?

We deploy software-defined payloads with encryption, AI-led intrusion detection, and
private and dedicated network support for government and enterprise use. Future-ready
compliance with 6G and beyond standards.

4. Do you offer customized enterprise solutions?

Yes. We work with sectors like defense, healthcare, logistics, oil & gas, remote education, and
create tailored SATCOM & IoT stacks based on specific use cases.

1. When will SPACEiN’s services be available to the public?

SPACEiN targets public deployment by 2028, following successful PoC validation. We will roll
out to underserved and disaster-prone zones first, ensuring maximum impact where it is needed
most.

2. Will I need a special device to access SPACEiN’s satellite network?

We are developing an indigenous handset optimized for direct SATCOM connectivity.
Simultaneously, we’re building a multi-layer telecom payload architecture that allows existing
smartphones to access our network with minimal hardware modifications, bringing SATCOM
to the masses.

3. Will SPACEiN be affordable for rural and tribal populations?

Absolutely. We are committed to bridging the digital divide. Through partnerships with state
and central schemes, we aim to provide subsidized or zero-cost packages for specific regions.

4. Can I use SPACEiN during natural disasters or in off-grid zones?

Yes. Our network is resilient, self-healing, and aerially supported, making it ideal for disasterprone or off-grid areas. Also our HAPS platforms can be deployed within minutes, creating
instant connectivity zones over affected areas. Combined with our satellite and ground network,
this guarantees resilience and recovery even in the most remote terrains.

1. India already has ISRO and other telecom providers. Why SPACEiN?

ISRO is focused on research, national missions, and global launch services. Private players like
SPACEiN are building commercial SATCOM infrastructure with flexible, fast, and regionfocused solutions under the IN-SPACe framework.

2. How do you plan to compete with giants like Starlink, OneWeb, or Bharti Airtel?

We are not replicating them. We are innovating differently:

  • HAPS integration (global first)
  • Localized deployment
  • Indigenous hardware-software sync
  • Metasurface tech + wearable comm nodes
  • Low-cost, high-reach ground support

3. Is your technology proven or just conceptual?

SPACEiN is collaborating with proven technology providers and global institutions to
develop and deploy SATCOM payloads, HAPS systems, and intelligent infrastructure. Our
roadmap is rooted in real-world technology and scalable engineering practices.

4. Isn’t satellite communication too expensive to succeed in India?

That was true a decade ago. Today, mass production, low-cost LEO design, flat-panel
antennas, and hybrid systems have dramatically lowered costs. With correct scaling and
licensing, it’s sustainable and profitable even in Tier 3 and rural markets. With our multi-layer
architecture (satellite + aerial + ground), we minimize deployment costs and maximize
flexibility. By 2028, costs per Mbps will be competitive with traditional fiber/tower networks,
especially in rural or hard-to-reach zones.

5. Will SPACEiN be able to handle multiple regulations, tech evolutions, and market
demands?

Yes. Our roadmap is phased (2024–2065), backed by experts, and designed for adaptive growth.
Our tech stack is software-defined, upgradeable, and modular—built to last and evolve.
