OrbitsIQ Global and Wrocław Tech Validate E-SSA Waveform for Space-Based IoT
OrbitsIQ Global announced the validation of its Enhanced Spread Spectrum Aloha (E‑SSA) waveform, co‑developed with Wrocław Tech and backed by ESA. The new protocol lets up to 500 devices share a single 4 MHz channel, processing roughly 30,000 frames per second with 0.8 bps/Hz spectral efficiency. By eliminating scheduling overhead, E‑SSA removes the collision bottleneck that limits current satellite IoT solutions. OIQ plans to embed the waveform in its AI‑driven connectivity platform for commercial roll‑out in late 2026.
