may not be as familiar to the public as Starlink and SpaceX. The company was founded in 2017but its roots go much deeper. Founder, CEO and chairman Abel Avellan spent time with Ericsson early in his career before founding Emerging Markets Communications, which serviced the maritime industry and other mobility markets in the late 1990s. Avellan eventually sold the company for more than half a billion dollars.
