SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation (SJC) has signed ground station hosting services with Spire Global, Inc.

Spire is a space-to-cloud data analytics company that offers data and  analytics that deliver insights into the parts of the world where collecting data is notoriously difficult to accomplish. Spire excels in covering areas of ships, planes and weather in remote regions.

According to the company, their products are unmatched in empowering users to take advantage of this unique data. SJC will drive that business in the geo stationary orbit and LEO markets. One of SJC’s LEO satellite businesses is ground station service and SJC’s ground station services for LEO satellites will start with two approaches: one is to host the customer's antenna in the facilities of SJC and/or SJC’s partners, and the other is to provide the customer with the services by the antenna owned by SJC.

SJC is perfectly suited to host Spire’s antenna and is honored to become Spire’s first partner in Japan. With the ever-growing demand to move large quantities of data quickly and securely around the world, SJC will aggressively participate in the LEO satellite market.
