Astrome Technologies Pvt. Ltd. an India and US-based 5G and satellite communication product company and Methera Global Communications Ltd., a UK based MEO satellite constellation company have jointly executed an MOU to establish a strategic partnership with a focus on supporting India and International market needs.

The two organizations aim to develop a long-term strategic technology partnership and are exploring opportunities to work on a variety of significant projects such as bringing into use of the Methera system as well as its low-cost user terminals, enabling Asian, African, and other regions to access and utilize Methera’s upcoming constellation of MEO satellites as well as existing satellite and terrestrial infrastructure.

The Methera system will deliver high-capacity Gbps broadband access, anytime, anywhere through a constellation of MEO (Middle Earth Orbit) satellites and low-cost user terminals. Focused on providing connectivity across the globe to remote and rural regions as well as under-served communities.
