About Sceye

Sceye is a startup that is developing advanced high-altitude platforms to deliver internet connectivity and high-resolution imagery of the Earth. These platforms, which are solar-powered and robust, operate in the stratosphere at a height of 65,000 feet. The company's mission is to use this innovative technology to improve people's lives and protect the planet.

Sceye's primary market is underserved locations, both rural and urban, that have been previously out of reach for traditional internet service providers. The company believes that internet access is a basic right that can improve healthcare, education, quality of life, and democracy.

The business model of Sceye is to partner with networks to extend broadband coverage to every corner, ensuring no one is left behind. The company's high-altitude platforms can lift and power more than any other platform and hold station in the stratosphere for months at a time, making them a superior solution to satellites, terrestrial infrastructure, and other High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS).

Sceye uses state-of-the-art massive active MIMO array antennae and 3D beamforming technologies to deliver extended range, efficiency, and a high quality of service. The platforms can hold station for precise delivery of coverage where it's needed, filling in all existing coverage gaps.

The company also partners with businesses, government, and academia to deploy persistent imaging and data collection services. It offers a versatile and high-resolution payload for real-time Earth observation and environmental monitoring.

In terms of revenue, Sceye makes money by providing universal connectivity and enabling environmental stewardship. It creates a new and equitable service that works for everyone, complementing existing ground networks by avoiding interference and efficiently re-using their spectrum to provide a compatible, reliable, and rapidly scalable layer of network in the sky.
