Satellite company Eutelsat has said the low-orbit internet of things (IoT) system it planned to launch later in 2019 would have more satellites than originally scheduled. It has ordered a CubeSat called Eutelsat LEO for Objects in addition to the nano-satellite it ordered in 2018 and said more satellites are planned. The firm has given no further details. Eutelsat already runs 37 satellites and said it was working with Indian IoT firm Sigfox to link its satellites with the Sigfox terrestrial network.
