e& and E-Space Collaborate to Drive Global Innovation in Advanced Internet

of Things (IoT) And Digital Transformation Solutions

e& and E-Space, a global space company
focused on bridging Earth and space with
the world’s most sustainable Low Earth
Orbit (LEO) network, announced plans to
develop advanced global IoT, Smart-IoT
and digital transformation solutions. The
collaboration seeks to maximize the end-
user value derived from borderless smart
connectivity and digital solutions across
land, sea and sky applications. The
cooperation will focus on the creative
development of cloud-native digital and IoT
solutions optimized with edge-based
Artificial Intelligence (edge AI). By
leveraging e&’s terrestrial infrastructure
and E-Space’s advanced space system,
including its global LEO constellation and expected to facilitate e& customer data to speed the time required to build a smarter,
