Swarm Technologies

Constellation field	IoT / M2M
Constellation info	World's smallest two-way communication satellites. FCC applications for 150 VHF and 450 UHF 0.25U CubeSats.
Constellation state	Launches completed, Unknown
Launched satellites	189
Planned satellites	150
Satellite size	0.25U, 1U
Manufacturer	In-house
First launch	2018
Launch cadence	Swarm hopes will complete its constellation in 2021.
Schedule tracking	Partially behind "Full constellation of 150 operating in low Earth orbit by the end of 2019."
Notes	Customers pay $119 for Swarm Tiles, low-power modems to embed in devices, in addition to $5 per device per month for Swarm service. Regulatory approval to operate commercially gained in early 2020. 2020 YEAR IN REVIEW, 2021-01-06. Satellite operators see acquisition opportunities, 2021-09-07. Swarm Technologies, Inc. seeks a Petition for Declaratory Ruling to Access the U.S. Market for a non-voice, non-geostationary mobile-satellite service system consisting of 450 satellites in low Earth orbit operating in the 399.9-400.05 MHz (Earth-to-space. Acquired by SpaceX in mid 2021. SpaceX is now advertising Swarm satellite Internet of Things connectivity on its Starlink website, with IoT service at $5 per month. Swarm’s baseline subscription supports 750 data packets a month (up to 150kB per device per month). SpaceX paid $524M for its 2021 acquisition of Swarm, mostly in stock (Wall Street Journal, 2023-08-17). Starlink's Swarm IoT service is transitioning to LTE satellite based service based on Gen 2 satellites, but will continue to support its existing Swarm users, and launch more satellites in the Swarm constellation.
