Independent Satellite Broadband Analytics and Benchmarking Platform

P5/10May 20, 2026
WhatA third-party analytics service that independently measures and benchmarks satellite internet performance, pricing, and coverage across providers like Starlink, Kuiper, and OneWeb.
SignalThe SpaceX S-1 reveals Starlink as a massive and rapidly scaling connectivity business with nearly 10 million subscribers, but key metrics like ARPU are declining fast, and there are questions about how costs are allocated between SpaceX divisions — creating a need for independent, trustworthy performance data.
Why NowStarlink crossing 10M subscribers and SpaceX going public means satellite broadband is now a mainstream market with multiple competitors launching, and investors, enterprises, and consumers all need independent benchmarking.
MarketEnterprise IT buyers choosing connectivity providers, investors analyzing satellite companies, and government procurement offices; $500M+ TAM in telecom analytics; Ookla/Speedtest covers terrestrial but satellite-specific benchmarking is nascent.
MoatProprietary dataset from distributed measurement nodes in rural/maritime/aviation environments where satellite is the primary option — network effects as more users contribute data.
