Geneva, Switzerland – January 13, 2025 – WISeKey International Holding (“WISeKey” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: WKEY; SIX: WIHN), a leading global cybersecurity, AI, and IoT company, today announced that its subsidiary WISeSat.Space, on January 14, 2025 will launch a new-generation satellite, an innovative system designed to provide comprehensive Earth IoT coverage with ultra-low latency, enabling real-time tracking and monitoring of trillions of IoT devices. These satellites incorporate advanced technology to deliver secure and scalable global connectivity, addressing critical concerns around data security, privacy, and geopolitical neutrality.

By leveraging Switzerland’s neutrality, political stability, and rigorous data protection laws, WISeSat.Space is building a trusted infrastructure for secure global communications. This constellation integrates SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ") post-quantum semiconductors, future-proofing the network against emerging quantum computing threats. These advanced chips utilize post-quantum cryptography, ensuring secure data transmission and protecting the constellation from potential adversarial quantum attacks.

Additionally, the satellites feature WISeKey’s WISeID identity management system, a platform for authenticating connected devices, and Hedera distributed ledger technology to provide a decentralized framework for maintaining data integrity and transparency across the network.

WISeSat.Space’s satellite constellation addresses the growing demand for secure and scalable infrastructure to support the exponential rise of IoT devices, projected to exceed 75 billion by 2030. Beyond connectivity, this initiative offers advanced Earth observation services for environmental monitoring, logistics optimization, and disaster response, providing real-time data and actionable insights. With tiered subscription models, governments, enterprises, and organizations can access a robust suite of services tailored to their specific needs.

Positioned as a neutral and secure alternative to satellite systems operated by corporations or national governments, WISeSat.Space offers a solution free from geopolitical risks, data misuse, and transparency issues. By operating under Swiss jurisdiction, the system ensures compliance with the most rigorous privacy and data protection standards globally, making it a trusted choice for critical communications. The integration of blockchain technology enhances data security, enabling decentralized, tamper-proof smart contracts and facilitating seamless transactions across industries such as shipping, logistics, and finance.

WISeSat.Space also addresses the growing need for reliable global internet access, particularly in underserved and remote regions. By bridging the digital divide, the constellation supports educational and economic growth while providing on-demand connectivity solutions for disaster recovery and emergency communications. The secure communication channels enabled by post-quantum cryptography offer unparalleled security for governments, financial institutions, and enterprises requiring the highest level of data protection.

This initiative reflects Switzerland’s unique strategic advantage as a base for innovation. The nation’s political stability, robust regulatory environment, and commitment to neutrality provide the ideal foundation for the development of cutting-edge technologies. By offering services such as private satellite networks, in-orbit servicing, and white-label solutions, WISeSat.Space extends its reach to enterprises seeking to manage their own secure and customized satellite infrastructure.

As the demand for interconnected devices accelerates alongside global digital transformation, WISeSat.Space is poised to lead the charge with its scalable, secure, and innovative satellite infrastructure.
