cegedim.cloud announces an inventive partnership with Kinéis to
host all IT infrastructure for the first European nanosatellite
constellation dedicated to the internet of things
Boulogne-Billancourt, February 16, 2021
Bringing innovation to the French New
Space sector.
cegedim.cloud
has been picked to host software solutions for Kinéis’
ground segment—a vital component of the group’s space systems—on a
private, secure cloud. This inventive partnership called for
demanding technical specifications in the areas of data and access
security, service continuity, and linkages amongst the
international network of ground stations and partners’ IoT
platforms.
Kinéis has multiple generations of satellites in
orbit for 40 years now. Its low data rate connectivity already
handles connections with 20,000 devices used in a wide variety of
scientific and environmental applications under the Argos and CLS
(Collecte Localisation Satellites) banners, as well as in
agricultural, humanitarian, maritime, transport, and logistics
fields. In early 2023, Kinéis will launch a constellation of 25
nano-satellites to bolster and improve current services. The system
also includes a network of ground stations spread out over 20 sites
around the world and a ground segment division responsible for all
the knowledge needed to manage the satellites and process collected
data.
Part of the ground segment is already up and
running for thousands of active devices. These activities will be
transferred to
cegedim.cloud
infrastructures in the spring. The nest phase, currently in
the development stage, will be rolled out alongside the
constellation and will ramp up capacity until it can handle 100
times more data than the current system. That volume is required to
meet Kinéis’ ambition of democratizing access to space.
cegedim.cloud, a
cloud expert in hosting and managing mission-critical platforms,
will be responsible for hosting software solutions for the
ground segment of Kinéis’ space system and will enable
ultra-secure access to IoT platforms and users.
cegedim.cloud
has met all of the technical and operational requirements
Kinéis set for this ambitious project,
particularly with respect to security standards, which are
fundamental to the space sector. When it comes to managing data
security,
cegedim.cloud
has proven its maturity and expertise by earning HDS
certification for hosting health data, and it complies with the ISO
27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018 standards.
The solution devised by
cegedim.cloud
will include:
- Dedicated, secure platforms monitored 24/7 in accordance with
SecNumCloud requirements
- A hybrid public/private cloud infrastructure
- Ultra-secure connection points
- Dual-site production environments
- A disaster recovery plan
cegedim.cloud
and Kinéis have formed a trusting relationship and
an inventive partnership based on superior security and performance
and cloud experts’ involvement for the entire life of the
project.
Frédéric Le Guillou,
CIO of cegedim.cloud, said,
“cegedim.cloud
is proud to have been chosen by Kinéis to collaborate on this
ambitious project. It was important for us to offer Kinéis a
solution that meets its needs from both a technological and a human
standpoint. Our cloud offering—which we are constantly
enriching—allowed us to do that. This collaboration is built on a
shared desire to take on new challenges.”
Ouan’Zan’ Zanifé,
Kinéis Chief Operations Officer, said, “As far as I know, no one
has ever hosted the entire ground segment of a space system before
now, and I’m thrilled that cegedim.cloud made it
possible. In addition to controlling the constellation and
processing the data collected once the system is operational, we’ve
also asked them to host several simulators that will allow us to
develop and test our technologies and services, starting now and
throughout the life of the constellation. We are confidently adding
cegedim.cloud to our list of strategic
partners.”
About Kinéis:Created in 2018, Kinéis is a satellite operator and
global connectivity provider. It inherited 40 years of CNES (French
space agency) and CLS (Collecte Localisation Satellites) expertise
in the Argos system, which it uses to develop reliable technology
that provides easy access to useful satellite data. To make life
easier for professionals and individuals and encourage them to use
its products and serivces, Kinéis locates and connects objects
wherever they are on the planet. To that end, it harnesses all of
its technological innovation capabilities to forge links between
New Space and IoT.Kinéis has raised capital of €100 million (CLS
32%, CNES 26%, Bpifrance 20%, Ifremer, Thalès, HEMERIA, CELAD, BNP
Paribas Développement, ETHICS Group, MJKD, Consuls Développement,
Invest Marel, and others) and generated revenue of €7 million in
