HOW WE DELIVER INTELLIGENCE

The intelligence you need. The way you need it.

Access intelligence through data subscriptions, work with it on our platform, or use it to power your own applications.

01 / Ready for your decisions

Intelligence subscriptions

Access advanced satellite datasets from specialist providers, prepared and connected around your needs. Combine them with your own information for a more complete view.

02 / Explore your questions

Platform subscriptions

Bring our datasets, your own records and other relevant sources together. Discover relationships and use the results in your existing maps, reports and applications.

03 / Power your applications

Intelligence for your AI

Build intelligence and AI applications on our platform and intelligent datasets. Connect the information your products need, with particular value for applications using satellite data.

INTELLIGENCE IN ACTION

See the event. Understand the impact.

THE QUESTION

Where is shipping activity concentrated?

Satellite radar observations reveal patterns of vessel activity around one of the world’s busiest shipping hubs.

Red: 28 DecGreen: 9 JanBlue: 21 Jan

The coloured points over water show vessel observations from three different dates. They are observations, not continuous vessel tracks.

THE CONNECTED PICTURE

Connect these observations with vessel reports, port activity and your own records to explore the wider operational picture.

HOW IT WORKS

Connect your data. Unlock its intelligence.

01

Bring your data together

Combine our datasets with other relevant sources and your own information.

02

Connect what’s related

Link information about the same places, assets and events, so you can explore it together.

03

Deliver useful intelligence

Find answers through deeper analysis of the connected data. Access the intelligence through our subscriptions, platform or your existing applications and AI.

A connected data foundation

A knowledge graph connects information and makes relationships explicit. Built on open standards including RDF and SPARQL, this foundation supports search, analysis and integration with existing applications.

Built around your sources

Our platform supports a broad range of data types and sources, including raster data at scale. Examples include satellite imagery, SAR and RF datasets, GPS pings, aircraft ADS-B, maritime tracking and enterprise records. We connect these and other relevant datasets to support your existing analytics, AI and applications.

FASTER ANSWERS. MORE TIME TO ACT.

500× faster.

Our technology foundation ran a historical geospatial query in 42 seconds, compared with 6.4 hours on a PostgreSQL-based GIS setup.

PERFORMANCE WITH A SMALLER FOOTPRINT

Advanced intelligence. Practical computing.

Our platform is designed to handle demanding analysis on commercially available computers and servers, making satellite intelligence more practical to deploy.

ABOUT FALCON SPECTRA

Born in the UAE. Built on global ingenuity.

Falcon Spectra is a UAE-born space venture bringing together technologies from around the world to deliver intelligence from satellite data.

We serve satellite operators, companies, organisations and governments. We also provide our platform and intelligent datasets to AI companies, with particular value for applications using satellite data. By connecting different sources, we help customers understand what matters to their operations.

THE MEANING OF SPECTRA

A spectrum of signals. A clearer picture.

“Spectra” is the plural of “spectrum”, a range of light, frequencies or signals. For us, it also represents the breadth of information we connect. From satellite imagery and radio signals to movement and business data, we bring different sources together to reveal relationships and deliver useful intelligence.
