Workshop 2: IoT in Earth Observation

Workshop 2: IoT in Earth Observation
02 - 03 Dec 2024
UTC+01:00
Noordwijk, Netherlands

This workshop is a collaborative effort between the European Space Agency (ESA) and other Space Agencies via IOAG, alongside significant industrial contributions from Airbus Defence & Space and OHB System. Its aim is to showcase the results and create a forum for consolidating a standardisation roadmap that was identified through ESA System Studies for integrating LPWAN/IoT technologies with Earth Observation (EO) satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), focusing on low power and low-data-rate connectivity.

The key objectives of the workshop are: 

  • To showcase results that were identified through ESA System Studies for integrating LPWAN/IoT Technologies with Earth Observation (EO) satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for low-data-rate connectivity.     
  • To discuss the results of the IoT4EO User and Provider surveys and review the feedback ESA received on the IoT4EO Service Definitions and Preliminary Specification, which outlines three core services:
    • Service A-1: Direct bidirectional low-data-rate TT&C
    • Service A-2: Indirect bidirectional low-data-rate TT&C
    • Service B: Direct bidirectional low-data-rate data collection from in-situ sensors
  • To encourage the formation of partnerships, collaborations and multidisciplinary dialogue between space agencies, technology providers, and end-user communities to advance the IoT4EO Ecosystem.
  • To present and consolidate the standardization roadmap for interoperability, ensuring seamless global adoption and integration, while also exploring and prioritizing the research and development of prototypes, testbeds, and ultimately IoD/IoV that will drive the next generation of IoT4EO solutions and connectivity to LEO satellites
