Utilizing a constellation of ten satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) Cloud Constellation’s SpaceBelt™ Data Security as a Service (DSaaS) is a patented, scalable, space-based cloud service for securing high-value, mission critical and highly sensitive data assets by providing data storage in space and global, secure managed network services.

DSaaS services will strengthen our presence in the Government and Defense markets as well as in the high end Corporate segments, such us Banking and Oil & Gas.”

Dennis R. Gatens, chief commercial officer, Cloud Constellation Corporation, said: “Telespazio is a global leader that has a successful track record of responding to new demands in the market with innovative solutions that address their customer’s roadmap of requirements.  Their presence and success in many market verticals will enable Cloud Constellation to greatly scale demand for SpaceBelt services.
