Telespazio Brazil Recently Inaugurated a New Satellite Teleport in Maricá, Rio de Janeiro. The New Space Will Host the OneWeb Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Gateway and Can Accommodate Various Ground Stations for Satellites, LEO and Geostationary Orbit (GEO) Satellite Infrastructure, as Well as Ground Stations for Earth Observation.

The Satellite Teleport has a redundant internet connection and fiber connectivity to the major data centers in Rio and São Paulo. With the OneWeb Gateway operating with 15 antennas and a redundant datacenter on the same site, the Gateway will be part of OneWeb’s LatAm Ground System and will provide low-latency, high-security broadband communications for government institutions, defense industries, oil and gas, aviation, as well as for mobile network companies bringing 3G, 4G, and 5G to all parts of Brazil.

The inauguration ceremony of the satellite teleport was attended by representatives from the government, industry, political and military authorities. For Luigi Pasquali, Coordinator of Space Activities and CEO of Telespazio, the inauguration of the Maricá Teleport is a key piece in Telespazio’s global strategy in the terrestrial segment.

“Brazil, where we have been present since 1997, and more broadly Latin America, is a region with an economic potential only partially expressed, with some economies growing strongly and with a clear satellite vocation for both satcom and geoinformation services,” said Pasquali.

What Is a Teleport

Telespazio Brazil, a company providing aerospace and technology services, has just inaugurated the Satellite Teleport. With the aim of providing efficient broadband services both locally and long-distance, the teleport offers its customers a high-performance cost-benefit ratio, with satellite services, fiber optics, shortwave, and other network structures.

The satellite teleport is considered a service-providing hub with high connectivity, ideal for companies that require high performance and speed in their daily operations. With a reduced cost, companies can benefit from exclusive shared services that ensure significant economies of scale. This relationship has proven efficient in other countries, where the teleport is already a great success.

Like a seaport, the Satellite Teleport offers exclusive advantages and shared costs. The economy of scale benefits not only companies but the sector as a whole, ensuring greater competitiveness and quality of services provided. The teleport is an essential investment for the economic development of the country, ensuring an efficient system, and meeting the connectivity demands present in the current market.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

While a traditional school may take several days just to raise walls, in Malawi a 3D-printed school had its structure ready in 18 hours, welcomed children in June, and showed a new solution to the lack of classrooms.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

While cities spend fortunes patching potholes and tons of plastic become waste, the Netherlands transforms over 218,000 recycled cups into a modular bike path that can conceal drainage, cables, and pipes.

Empty beer bottle turns into sand, and the sand turns into concrete: an American city has discovered how to recycle glass locally using a solar-powered truck that crushes five tons of bottles per day in a local circular economy project.

The best city to live in Brazil has only 4,700 inhabitants, is located in the interior of São Paulo, and leads the ranking for the third consecutive year, driven by quality of life, sanitation, security, and revenue linked to the Embraer factory.

Gasoline at R$ 4.99 makes drivers wait more than an hour at Havan gas stations in Santa Catarina, during a “zero tax” promotion with a limit of 15 liters per car and 25,000 liters available across five units of the network.

Doctoral student from UEPB creates solar desalination device that transforms brackish water into potable water, costs much less than traditional systems, and is already improving the lives of families who previously walked hours for water in the semi-arid region.

Geological Service of Brazil finds high concentrations of rare earth elements in a strip that stretches from São Paulo to Santa Catarina, including cities like Joinville and Garuva. Samples recorded more than 8,000 parts per million, a level considered significant for this type of occurrence.
