e-GEOS and Umbra Sign Reseller Agreement for Global Distribution of SAR Satellite Data
e-GEOS and Umbra have entered into a Reseller Agreement granting e-GEOS non-exclusive, worldwide distribution rights for Umbra SAR satellite data. This partnership marks a significant advancement in the accessibility and availability of high-resolution SAR imagery. Through this agreement, e-GEOS will expand its SAR satellite data offerings, while Umbra will reach a broader customer base and offer a wider array of application services. Both companies’ satellites provide high-resolution imaging capabilities, capturing data day or night, in all weather conditions.
The agreement allows e-GEOS to order new tasking imagery and access data from Umbra’s archive. This will enhance the capabilities of the Italian Space Agency’s COSMO-SkyMed First and Second Generation satellites by incorporating high temporal revisit data from the Umbra constellation. The combined use of Umbra and COSMO-SkyMed data will enable the generation and distribution of value-added and derivative products.
Furthermore, the agreement sets terms and conditions for rapid, joint responses to market opportunities, leveraging both parties’ satellite assets and e-GEOS’s expertise in developing services and applications delivered through proprietary vertical digital platforms.
Commenting on the collaboration, Paolo Minciacchi, CEO of e-GEOS and SVP of Telespazio Geo Information Line of Business, said, “Reaching this agreement with Umbra reinforces our role as a world leader in geoinformation by providing access to new and diverse SAR capabilities in which we already possess unique expertise. This agreement is crucial for pooling not only data but also strong expertise in the SAR domain, which has exponential development opportunities.”
David Langan, co-founder and CEO of Umbra, added, “Partnering with e-GEOS brings together the two highest resolution commercial SAR constellations in the world. Our combined capabilities will offer unparalleled resolution and timeliness for the world’s most demanding missions.”
This strategic partnership underscores the commitment of both e-GEOS and Umbra to advancing the field of geoinformation and enhancing the quality and availability of SAR imagery for a wide range of applications.
