Tom Keane: Satellite Connectivity and Geospatial Capabilities With Azure Space

Connectivity holds up every affair in this world and beyond it. It provides convenience, comfort, data availability and access to all services. Microsoft Azure Space is bringing the benefits of connectivity to customers in the aerospace industry. This project from Microsoft Corporation is led by software developer Tom Keane. From asset management to advanced analytics, satellite communications and earth observation applications – Azure Space helps you connect with your satellites by instantly deploying reliable satellite connectivity and geospatial capabilities across the globe. 

 

Satellite Connectivity 

 

Designed and deployed by cloud services engineer and software developer Tom Keane and his team of engineers, Azure Space is a new service that allows you to monitor the status of your satellite capabilities. Your account will include an Azure Space application to monitor the quality of your connection over time, and if you see any spikes or drops, you’ll be able to contact support for help. If a spike was detected early enough, you could get connected before it caused any issues.

Our open platform allows customers to easily integrate new technologies into their applications as they become available. Azure Space extends its cloud ecosystem by providing a service that combines best-in-class satellite connectivity and geospatial capabilities. As Tom Keane recalls, today’s aerospace industry executives are tasked with maximizing efficiency while minimizing costs – to accomplish this, they need a broad set of tools to help them meet their business objectives. 

 

It provides a comprehensive suite of services that allow customers to predict and manage satellite constraints. Azure Space service combines Microsoft’s hybrid cloud infrastructure, global teleport connectivity, and satellite services to integrate into customers’ existing solutions seamlessly. Finally, Tom Keane assures that it’s been tested and is ready for production use, so Azure Space is already available for immediate global deployment.
