Abstract
The Internet has served us well. However, it wasn’t built with security in mind. Security has always been an
afterthought with one solution after another trying to plug the holes. Internet security is cumbersome, expensive and
ineffective. Companies and governments have dealt with repeated and horrific data breaches of high value and
sensitive information.
This paper details ConnectX's next generation transmission and storage technology that completely eliminates the use
of the Internet. This “Internet-less”, private network will be used by the cryptocurrency community to store valuable
information like digital wallets and transact all business in the digital realm. ConnectX is deploying a new network
for data storage, processing and transactions which is above government-level security. We will leverage the cost
reductions in the space industry to launch a constellation of small satellites in low earth orbit. This is the least
expensive way to deploy new infrastructure but also has other advantages such as lower operating costs and the
network cannot be physically accessed. This is the secure platform needed to support and protect sensitive data and
cryptocurrency transactions.
Problem
The most valuable asset a company or individual has is data. Protecting that data is challenging. Data breaches of
private and sensitive information are increasing at an alarming rate. The number of U.S. data breaches in 2016
reached a record high of 1,093, up 40% from 2015 of 780.1
The financial sector leads in overall breaches at 45%. Social Security Numbers are also a high value target because
of their identity theft value with more than 50% of data breaches that compromised SSN’s in 2016.

Any enterprise data storage solution has to store, manage, protect and provide access to data in order to support
their business. As companies become more distributed and corporate data grows exponentially, demands multiply.
Customers must entrust companies with their most sensitive information often resulting in data breaches.
Large enterprises believe it is too risky to let Cloud Service Providers handle their business-critical and personally
identifiable information (PII) of their customers. The type of information that companies lose to criminal hackers are
names, addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, medical records, tax information, passwords and credit
card numbers. The amount of customer records stolen by hackers is staggering:
• Yahoo!: 1.5 billion records in 2016.
• Scottrade: 4.6 million records in 2015.
• T-Mobile via Experian: 15 million records in 2015.
• TJ Maxx: 45.7 million records in 2007.
• Home Depot: 53 million records in 2014.
• Sony: 77 million records in 2011.
• Anthem Insurance: 80 million records in 2015.
• U.S. Government (Ofﬁce of Personnel Management): 21.5 million records in 2015.
• JP Morgan Chase: 83 million records in 2013.
• AOL: 92 million records in 2007.
• LinkedIn: 100 million records in 2016.
• Target: 110 million records in 2013.
• Equifax: 143 million records in 2017.
• UBER: 57 million records in 2017.
• eBay: 145 million records in 20142
In cloud computing, users and customers do not have control over their personal data or the ability to audit or
change the processes and policies that affect them. The server and data you are accessing belonging to YOU could
be in another state or country under their legal and jurisdictional control.
In July of 2017, $32 million worth of digital currency was stolen by hackers who gained access to a website where
the digital currency owner was buying and selling Ether (Ethereum’s digital currency)3
. In 2014, Mt. Gox had

850,000 bitcoins lost or stolen by hackers, a value at the time of $620 million when bitcoin was priced at $827 per
bitcoin4
. Some suspect Mt. Gox stole bitcoins it had in custody.
Decentralized Crypto-Storage
The introduction of decentralized storage using blockchain technology like STORJ or IPFS have their benefits. These
systems provide incentives for people to lease unused data storage space on their personal computers to the highest
bidder. This is a less expensive way for certain types of data to be stored like unimportant personal files and web
content. However, even though decentralized storage is encrypted, consumers and enterprises with very sensitive,
high value information will not want to store this on individual computers around the world.
Data Security Problems
When enterprises, governments and individuals lose data, they lose money. What are the risks?
MALWARE: Hostile software designed to cause harm, steal data or shut down devices and servers.
INTERNET OF THINGS: Increasingly connected devices offer many more entry points in to information.
IoT will be a part of every industry but it hasn’t been designed with security in mind.
CYBER ESPIONAGE: The next world war will be fought on a keyboard.
CYBER THEFT/FRAUD: Stealing financial information/identity is nothing new but opportunities for theft
will increase as new ways for paying for goods evolve like mobile payments and digital currency.
INSECURE PASSWORDS: Easy-to-crack passwords are still a big risk and high-profile attacks will
continue. Password recovery is flawed as security questions can easily be guessed based on
information online.
ONE THING IN COMMON: INTERNET CONNECTIVITY.

Commercialization of Space and Small Satellites
Commercial operations in space have occurred for decades. The biggest example is communication satellites which
provide a wide range of services such as telecommunications, data communications such as internet, TV broadcasts,
etc.
It is projected in 2017, 449 small satellites (nano/microsatallites) will be launched, an increase of 510% over
20165
. Thousands of commercial small satellites (101-500kg) are planned for launch over the next 15 years. Recent
multi-million and multi-billion dollar investments in various ventures confirm the commercial sector’s continued interest
in the small satellite industry6
.
The frequency and lower cost of small satellite launches means that the playing field in the satellite industry is
leveling. It is enabling new companies to solve the world’s biggest problems. Most importantly, a company like
ConnectX could go from start up to dominate market position using small satellites to securely store and perform
transactions of high value data ‘off-planet’. The first to do this in the new era of satellites will dominate the $86.4B
cyber security market7
.
Current State of Satellite Deployments
Despite the democratization of space, satellites still must operate under limited power and are severely restricted by
data transmissions speeds. Satellite companies overcome these issues by making larger, more expensive satellites
capable of generating more power and data
transmission throughput. SpaceX, as an example,
is providing global Internet with an estimated
11,000 satellites, each weighing 650 pounds and
the size of a car. This will be at a cost of $5-10
billion over the next 5-6 years. However, ConnectX
is not doing this. We will be taking advantage of
the innovations and price reductions happening
now in the satellite industry to launch smaller, less
expensive satellites with the ConnectX-3D
technology in Low Earth Orbit.

have secured significant funding and launch schedules.

Data in Satellites
This is something that is already being done. Satellites are computers that process information, store, transmit and
receive data to and from earth. ConnectX is leveraging smaller, less expensive satellites to deploy new infrastructure
that is more secure and less expensive. However, there are technology challenges to overcome. Should a galactic
event occur (like a solar flare) or a satellite becomes inoperable, the ConnectX system needs to be able to recover so
that no data is lost and communication is not interrupted. ConnectX has intellectual property on how the system
geospatially distributes and replicates information in the satellite constellation to prevent this from occurring. A
ConnectX team member was the inventor and architect of the first satellite mesh network for the U.S. Army. He has
designed the system to be self-healing, messages are rerouted during communication failures and nodes
automatically replicate and distribute data should there be issues. A secondary group of satellites flying at a higher
orbital altitude will provide another data backup. These backup satellite nodes will also fly in to position to replace
inoperable satellites in the main constellation.
Why Space?
Less Cost. More Security. Global Accessibility.
Enterprise private clouds on earth can cost $900-2000 TB/year and are still very susceptible to information security
attacks: Equifax, Sony, Target, Anthem and the U.S. Government have all experienced significant security breaches.
Through the use of proprietary and patented technology, ConnectX will lower the cost to $50-500 TB/year (depend-
ing on the level of security) and have a system with security not yet seen in the market. We are deploying new data
transmission and storage technology based on 3D symbols rather than binary code, providing an order of magni-
tude increase in capacity, speed, security and performance.
Space gives ConnectX an unfair advantage. Economically, we do not have to pay for real estate, electricity, cooling,
staff or security. From a security perspective, no one can physically access our system and no government or entity
can force the exposure of your information. By directly connecting the user device to our satellites, we eliminate the
use of the Internet and provide accessibility anywhere.

Our Solution
ConnectX was formed to develop a proprietary data transmission and storage technology (“CONNECTX-3D”) which
will be deployed in the first space-based distributed network of data centers designed to provide an unparalleled
level of security, performance and ultimately, cost savings to individuals, enterprises, financial, health care and
public sector customers.
The Technology
Current storage technologies are built for a binary environment which is a limiting factor on speed and capacity.
ConnectX is developing storage technologies for a three-dimensional environment that is faster, more secure and has
significantly greater capacity. We expect that these advancements will drive substantial economic advantages for our
satellite data storage network.
CONNECTX-3D: Data Density and Data Security
The current drawback to satellite communications is signal transmission bandwidth and power. Bandwidth speeds
are too slow and downlink/uplink signals are too weak to penetrate buildings, thick vegetation and other structures.
CONNECTX-3D is designed to pass information to and from CONNECTX-3D satellites and user devices. By
abandoning linear propagation of data, we can increase bandwidth throughput and dramatically increase storage
capacity in a dynamic vortational CONNECTX-3D data transmission and storage system.
6

Traditional binary code uses at least 8 zero’s and one’s to represent any character like the letter ‘A’. In the radio
example using Frequency Modulation (FM) or Amplitude Modulation (AM) where the “frequency” of the radio waves
or the “amplitude”/height of the radio waves represent a zero or a one, it will take 8 or more radio waves to
transmit the letter ‘A’. CONNECTX-3D is able to send a symbol using 1 wave.
These CONNECTX-3D symbols can equal anything like the letter
‘A’, the word ‘Apple’ or the entire sentence ‘The apple fell from the
tree.’ We do not go back to binary but rather store these symbols
in their new format. This provides an order of magnitude in data
density/speed, performance and capacity both in storage and
transmission. Companies will use a device designed for
CONNECTX-3D or another device that plugs in to existing wireless
routers. This allows the security conscious enterprises to eliminate
the use of the Internet and access data in the ConnectX satellite system at a much lower cost to terrestrial enterprise
private cloud computing systems. In addition to radio transmission, CONNECTX-3D data can be sent over fiber
optics and the electrical grid.
CONNECTX-3D is a new coding system: The creation of the actual three dimensional symbols add another
layer of security over and above current encryption techniques. Based on the data being encoded, new shapes are
created by an algorithm. We can create a near infinite amount of data shapes. A company, department or an
individual could have its own “CONNECTX-3D data language”. The system could even create a data language
for a single, very large financial transaction, perform the transfer and that data language will never be used again.
Central to all data communications is the construct of time, timing and synchronization. CONNECTX-3D data
messaging is also subject to this formatting, in a dynamic vortational-spin vector that is also defined by predictive
timing, yet is both linear and non-linear. In quantum communications the data element is simultaneously a zero and
one. This idea is defined by a horizontal plane and a vertical plane that forms a qubit which is the quantum data
element.
Scientific efforts and engineering modalities are hitting a wall with relation to how we can speed microprocessor
clocking. There is work that suggests we need to take binary data to the nano-level. CONNECTX-3D is based on
another approach. It can function in conventional frequency carrier bands or data elements can propagate in space
time without causing any additional noise and without disrupting conventional radio-wireless communications.
7

Wireless spectrum is becoming crowded and expensive. Security is poor, IP addressing is limited, conduits for the
transmission of data are limited to copper, fiber or wireless frequencies. Higher speeds generated using existing
methods mean more heat and/or require more power. CONNECTX-3D for satellite breaks these restrictions. It is
designed to provide an incredibly high level of network security for communications channels, provide interworking
functions that quickly and securely transcode binary data to CONNECTX-3D.
CONNECTX-3D data packs much more information within vortational channel message capsules that are used for
transmission and data storage respectively. As a result, it requires much less physical space than binary data
information.
A technical treatment on CONNECTX-3D is available on request.
How it works
Customers pay for our service with “ConnectX Coins” (digital currency) depending on the amount of data and level
of security required and will securely access their data in our satellites from their Internet enabled mobile
device/tablet/laptop. This is accomplished by a ConnectX device that plugs in to a wireless router. The system
transmits data in an entirely new, extremely dense and highly secure method (CONNECTX-3D).
No data is ever stored on any server or device on earth. It is all secured ‘off-planet’.
Infrastructure Components
Prior to the satellite launch and hardware availability, ConnectX customers will be able to store high value data in
our terrestrial-based secure storage nodes.

The ConnectX satellite system requires:
ConnectX HUB: A small device that plugs in to a wireless router.
ConnectX Power Station: The Ground Station, a relatively small device, transmits the signal to our
satellites. Instead of mining rigs, the crowd is incented to purchase Power Stations because they earn
ConnectX Coins for being the Ground Station that links to the satellite node performing the transaction.
12 Satellites: Completes one orbital ring giving 24/7 access.
108 Satellites: Global Accessibility and 24/7 access.
This eliminates the use of the Internet entirely.

We believe that a conservative estimate on storage
capacity per node (satellite), leveraging
CONNECTX-3D technology is a 10 petabyte capacity
(1,000 terabytes). Assuming a $50 annual fee per
terabyte, this translates into a maximum of $500,000
in storage fees that can be achieved per node,
assuming 100% utilization.
In conventional, binary-based scenarios, the perceived
cost of a single petabyte of enterprise storage is about
3.75 cents/MB ($375,000)9.
Theoretically, we believe it is possible to achieve much
more impressive capacity using CONNECTX-3D
technology. At 50 petabyte capacity per node, each node, at maximum capacity (100% leased) would generate
$2.5 million annual revenues.
Over a 108 node distributed global network as an example, 50 petabyte capacity per node translates into $259
million in annual EBITDA.

Blockchains: Public vs. Private vs. Autonomous Satellites
Blockchains are accounting ledgers that cannot be changed and are shared by many people and computers that
have a method of agreeing on new transactions.
There is an ongoing debate on whether it is better to have a private blockchain or one that is open and shared with
the public.
The advantages of PRIVATE blockchains are:
1. The consortium or company running the private blockchain can, if needed, make changes if something
goes wrong, change the rules of the blockchain or revert transactions. However, this could be viewed as a
disadvantage as the company in control “is in control”.
2. The computers and people validating the transactions are known so an attack on the ledger by a group or
majority of validators does not apply.
3. In general, you remove a number of attack scenarios by keeping the network/blockchain private.
4. Transactions are less expensive since fewer nodes need to verify transactions. Private blockchains use
much less computing and electrical power than their public blockchain counterparts.
5. Nodes can be trusted in a private blockchain/network.
6. Private blockchains have a high degree of privacy and provide greater scalability.
The advantages of PUBLIC blockchains are:
1. Promotes freedom, neutrality and openness.
2. Public blockchains provide a way to protect the users of a cryptocurrency from the developers by
restricting what the developers can do to the blockchain.
3. Because public blockchains are open, they are likely to gain from the network effect.
4. Everyone can see every transaction. However, this could be argued as an issue for some users who prefer
privacy13.
13 Blog.Ethereum.Org. “On Public and Private Blockchains” byVitalikButerin, founder of Ethereum.
12

The ConnectX satellite constellation which is a private blockchain run by autonomous satellites brings to the market
most of the advantages of both PUBLIC and PRIVATE blockchains. It has the following characteristics and
advantages:
1. Satellites, acting independently, running a blockchain do not have a company which could “take control”
of the ledger.
2. There are no “miners” that could team up to commit a 51% attack. A 51% attack is where someone or
some entity gain control of 51% or more of the computers in the blockchain network and are able to change
the ledger and transactions.
3. Each node is trusted as it only talks to others in the closed, private network which eliminates the use of the
Internet. This removes attacks from untrusted nodes and Sybil attacks, etc. A Sybil attack is when a comput
er or node in a network is used to falsify multiple identities in attempt to cheat or hack the system.
4. Because it is private, there are fewer nodes lowering the need for large amounts of computing and
electricity, increasing scalability.
5. It does not get more sovereign or private than Outer Space. Furthermore, there are no laws or
jurisdictional issues ‘off-planet’.
6. The satellite nodes execute on the ledger and are completely neutral.
ConnectX Use Case
The ConnectX system attracts a segment of the marketplace that performs very large transactions that can take a long
time with lots of people involved, privacy and security are paramount and where the parties in the transaction don’t
trust each other.
13

Market: Trading goods between countries is a $12-15 Trillion per year market.
Problems and Inefﬁciencies:
When a company or country needs to import goods, they will bid this to trading firms. After selecting the trading
firm, contracts are awarded and the “buyer” instructs the trading firm which commodities they would like to
purchase.
After the trading firm secures the suppliers, they must put up assets, letters of credit or arrange credit lines with their
bank to pay for the goods. Credit line fees and Letters of Credit can cost 2%-10%. Suppliers will not ship goods until
a payment commitment is in place.
The supplier will insure the product and vessel against loss during the sea voyage to the destination/buyer. The trip
can take days or weeks. Once the shipment is received, the buyer inspects the goods and pays the trading firm. The
supplier is paid and all letters of credit and credit lines are released.
A typical transaction has brokers on the buy and sell side increasing the cost. As the contracts get larger, more
brokers and more traders are involved.
Banks are charging interest/points and trading firms earn 15% - 50%. Higher margin commodities like oil provide
traders with enormous profits of $3-4 per barrel.
After the commodities are delivered, the buyer must manage multiple agreements, invoices and shipping/pickup of
each product with their buyers.

15%-50% and eliminates traders, brokers and banks.

https://www.Exportly.io

The Exportly Solution:
Exportly has reinvented international commodity trading.
Buyers and suppliers will interface with the system through a highly secure mobile app and cryptocurrency hardware
wallet.
Buyer’s select the commodity, country, supplier and proof of digital funds is shown to the supplier.
The supplier shows proof of product in the Exportly system and product testing documentation is also stored on the
blockchain.
A digital contract is executed andfunds are placed in “digital escrow” via a smart contract on the
EthereumBlockchain alerting the supplier to package, insure, load and ship the cargo.
Cargo ship GPS tracking, IoT devices related to the transaction and all documents are stored on the Blockchain.
Once the goods have arrived and are accepted by the buyer, the Ethereum smart contract releases the funds to the
supplier.
The buyer can then manage the selling of the goods just delivered with their buyers using Exportly.
All traders, brokers and banks are removed from the process.
Revenue Model: A 1% transaction fee will per charged per transaction.
Digital Currency: Exportly will issue its own digital currency backed by gold to the suppliers, buyers and
customers of the buyers to use as the medium of exchange. No commodity buyer would transact international
commodities with any digital currency without something of real value backing it due to the price fluctuations and
potential liquidity issues, not to mention the newness of the concept.
Technology: Exportly will be built on Ethereum for smart contracts and using ERC20 compliant tokens. Once the
ConnectXsatellite infrastructure is launched and fully operational, the backend of Exportly will be transitioned to the
ConnectX satellite platform.
15

S1W Secure Digital Wallet Storage: This is a product module built for use with the Exportly product module.
Vital to Exportly is the ability for customers to store their digital currency wallets and other financial information
related to the international commodity transaction. This application also gives the ability for Exportly buyers and
suppliers to buy the E-Token used in commodity transactions.
ConnectX coin sale participants will also use this application to store their digital wallets and purchase ConnectX
coins.
Prior to transitioning to the satellite backend, all data in the system will be stored in a secure node environment on
earth.

Tokenomics
ConnectX will charge a 1% fee for Exportly transactions payable in ConnectX coins. For S1W digital wallet
storage,there will be a small transaction fee for using your wallet in our system. In the future, we can store more
sensitive information like passwords, passports, credit card numbers, investment and bank account information, birth
certificates, and Social Security Numbers. ConnectX will only accept ConnectX Coins as payment for data storage.
Data storage space can be leased or owned. If customers purchase data storage, that space is tokenized as owner-
ship and can be sold to others whenever they like.
We will incent the public to purchase and operate the ConnectX POWER STATION because our community earns
money for operating it. The POWER STATION is a relatively small device, which could be called a satellite ground
station providing the data up/downlink. When your POWER STATION provides the data link to the node in the
satellite constellation that performs the transaction, you earn money. Not only does this provide for more use of our
21

token, it also crowd sources our ground station “infrastructure” deployment on earth.
Key Partnerships
Zero2Inﬁnity – High Altitude Balloon launches to test satellite payloads prior to satellite launches. With their
system, we are able to test our payloads at 30 Kilometers/100,000 feet at a fraction of the cost of satellite launches.
Cannae – Propellant-LESS engine for satellites. With this technology, we do not need to include propellant in our
satellites to keep them “on station” (in a specific orbit). This extends the life of each satellite node, lowers the initial
altitude during launch and allows us to change the satellites orbit altitude during operation.
Spacecraft Manufacturer – We have partnered with a well-known small satellite manufacturer and can release
this information under NDA.
Launch Provider – Depending on the pricing and launch location of the various providers, we will choose the best
option in time to share the rocket payload to deploy our satellites in incremental steps.
Company Background
The idea for ConnectX was originally conceived by the CEO, Lance Parker in 2010 when a friend asked, “What do
you think computing will look like in the future?”. After some time thinking about it, he said, “servers will disappear
and it will all be in satellites”. We can see how decentralization is occurring in the blockchain space removing the
need for servers. This started the process of seeing how this could work. Lance put a group together to build a small
device that plugged in to your computer giving a more secure way to access cloud storage data. It was shortly after
this that Lance met his technical cofounder. In discussingCONNECTX-3D’s symbol technology, Lance thought, at the
time, that it would be best suited for Big Data and processing this information in satellites. Below is a story on
Fortune.com about this concept:

What if we put servers in Space?
“ConnectX wants to take corporate data out of the cloud and into the final frontier, revolutionizing the way we store,
transmit, and analyze information.
Fortune.com, By Kirk Kardashian

When people talk about cloud computing, it’s usually understood that the cloud is a metaphor for groups of remote,
networked servers. But when Lance Parker talks about “space computing,” he’s not taking poetic license. He means it
literally: physical servers operating in outer space. Parker is the CEO of ConnectX, a startup company based in Los
Angeles that’s working on a way to take corporations’ data out of the cloud and into the final frontier. If his company
succeeds, it could revolutionize the way we store, transmit, and analyze information.
As metaphors go, “cloud computing” sounds nice but is misleading. Clouds are in the sky; server farms are decidedly
earthbound. Clouds are aesthetic and amorphous, a Rorschach test in the atmosphere; data warehouses are boxy and
don’t leave much room for interpretation. But the bigger problem with cloud computing is that, according to Parker, it’s
simply unsustainable. He may have a point. From the beginning of time until 2002, the world created five exabytes
(five billion gigabytes) of information; today, we create that much data in about 10 minutes. Data storage technology
just isn’t keeping pace with the exponential growth of data creation. Data centers are also energy hogs, using up 10%
of the world’s electricity.
Putting servers in space could potentially remedy the energy problem, since they could be powered by free, plentiful
solar radiation. And, Parker adds, the space environment would be advantageous for spinning disk drives. Zero-gravity
allows the drives to spin with less resistance, and the extreme cold in space means the servers could process faster
without overheating.
Of course, all of the benefits of space computing are worthless without a cost-effective way to launch a server into
space. Fortunately for ConnectX, satellites are getting smaller and cheaper by the year. The CubeSat, which is about
the size of a cantaloupe, can be placed into orbit for less than $100,000. The even smaller TubeSat can be launched
for $8,000. Compare those costs to, say, a cellular tower at $150,000, and “the small satellite becomes the obvious
choice,” Parker says.
23

But if cost is not the main barrier to space computing, data transmission rates could well be. Currently, servers and
computers send and receive information mostly through cables or fiber optics, which allow a data transfer rate of
around 100 megabits per second for typical applications. Satellites and cell phones, on the other hand, beam infor-
mation using electromagnetic waves. (The data is delivered in a code of ones and zeroes, with the height or the
frequency of the wave distinguishing between the numerals. A series of numerals is then translated by the receiver into
useable information. For example, the letter “A” is represented by eight zeroes and ones—eight waves.) This method of
transmission is much slower than using wires. Verizon claims that its LTE wireless network, for example, downloads at
speeds between five and 12 megabits per second. At that rate, storing large amounts of data in space is just not
feasible.
ConnectX’s proposed solution to the transfer rate challenge is twofold. First, the company is working on a way to twist
radio beams to increase data transmission rates. This might sound farfetched, but Alan Willner, a professor of electrical
engineering at the University of Southern California, has recently developed a similar technique, which achieved a rate
of 32 gigabits per second—about 30 times faster than LTE wireless. Willner published an account of the research in
Nature Communications on September 16. “It was interesting to see that come out,” Parker says, “because our
technology requires spin, but we do it in a different way that’s much more effective.”
That different approach is where the real blockbuster innovation of ConnectX might be found. In addition to twisting the
radio beams for faster transmission, the beams will be sending the data in a condensed, non-binary symbol structure.
Instead of the letter “A” requiring eight waves, it could require just one. Or an entire sentence, “The apple fell far from
the tree,” could be communicated with a single symbol. “Our symbol structure can get even more complex as we
evolve it,” Parker says, “where a symbol can mean more and more information.” This eases not only transfer rates, but
could also speed up analytics by reducing the sheer volume of data that must be combed through to find actionable
intelligence.
According to the head of data science at a Fortune 500 company, who is familiar with ConnectX’s work, the value of
the company’s proprietary symbol structure can be communicated in one word: visualization. In the tradition
al approach to big data analytics, records are two dimensional and it’s therefore difficult to see relationships between
products and people or changes over time. “That’s what ConnectX is trying to fix,” the data science manager says,
“picturing the data as an object with relationships, attributes and movement. That’s what’s missing on the market now:
something that can show the insights, and help executives figure out the next steps for the company.”
24

ConnectX’s team of 13 employees, most of whom are engineers and scientists, are hoping the company can fill that
void. They plan to prove the transmission technology on earth first, then test it in space. The beta launch is slated for
2017.”
A Big Data product module may be in the future roadmap as the company progresses.
