With a satellite lofted into low Earth orbit, Sateliot is joining the
race to build networks that hop across the heavens.

By Stephan Shankland

With a SpaceX rocket launch set for late Monday, a Spanish company
called Sateliot expects to take its first step toward giving you text
messaging abilities in remote parts of the world where conventional
mobile networks fail.

The 50-employee Barcelona-based startup is one of a growing number of
attempts to use satellites about 310 miles above our heads in low
Earth orbit to bring us closer to the promise of ubiquitous
connectivity. With Apple, Verizon, T-Mobile and Qualcomm all headed in
the same direction, it seems likely that, in the near future, stranded
motorists and injured hikers won't be so isolated.
