Lacuna Space

Lacuna Space is a UK-based satellite IoT company founded in 2018, headquartered in Newbury, Berkshire, providing low-cost, global LoRaWAN satellite connectivity for IoT sensors in areas without terrestrial coverage. The company operates a constellation of LEO nanosatellites carrying LoRa radio receivers that collect uplink transmissions from standard LoRaWAN IoT devices on the ground, extending the range of the LoRaWAN IoT protocol from its typical few-kilometer terrestrial range to global coverage. Lacuna targets agricultural monitoring, environmental sensing, asset tracking, and utilities management applications where IoT sensors are deployed in remote locations beyond cellular or Wi-Fi networks. The company's "any sensor, anywhere" proposition makes satellite IoT accessible at prices comparable to terrestrial IoT, without requiring specialized satellite hardware for end devices.
