Sceye develops unique stratospheric platforms - huge helium balloons over 60 meters long that hover high above the ground and are capable of solving several tasks at once: from monitoring the environmental situation to providing communications in hard-to-reach regions.
Sceye technologies can fill the gaps where cell towers, satellites and fiber-optic networks fail.
Sceye airships are capable of staying in the stratosphere for hours, and potentially weeks, using solar power during the day and batteries at night. They are equipped with radars and cameras that allow real-time monitoring of natural disasters: fires, floods, greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, they can provide stable broadband communications in areas affected by natural disasters and in remote locations where there is no terrestrial infrastructure.
The company has already conducted successful tests: last year one of the platforms stayed in the air for more than a day, confirming the sustainability of the concept. More than twenty of these balloons are now deployed in New Mexico, and one of them will soon be tested in Japan. Sceye intends to begin commercial operation following this demonstration and then scale the project
