What Gotonomi does

Gotonomi is a UK-based subsidiary of TTP plc that designs and sells miniaturized satellite communication terminals for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), with the explicit purpose of enabling Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) commercial drone operations. Its product portfolio comprises the Velaris 200 (fully-integrated IP67 terminal, 580g), the Velaris Module (ultra-compact 195g module), the Velaris Multilink Module (245g, hybrid satellite + LTE with onboard edge computing), and the 200-A Omni Antenna (210g). All terminals operate on Viasat's Velaris L-band satellite network (Regional Class 4, up to 200kbps, 99.75% specified availability) and integrate with major autopilot platforms (ArduPilot, Veronte) and drone OEMs (AIR6 SYSTEMS, Xer Technologies).

The company monetizes through hardware sales, recurring monthly satellite airtime subscriptions (175MB–2.5GB tiers at $0.75/MB overage with 12-month minimum commitment), SCAP fleet tariffs, custom enterprise data plans, and Videosoft video streaming software licensing. Sales are executed direct via a website contact form and through channel partners, with Viasat acting as the underlying network and Gotonomi a Value-Added Reseller of Velaris airtime. Distribution also runs through regional resellers (Arycom in Brazil) and bundled go-to-market with Videosoft and drone OEMs.

Customer segments span inspection, surveillance and monitoring operators (power line, infrastructure, environmental, search & rescue), energy and infrastructure operators, government and defense, and emerging Advanced Air Mobility (eVTOL) use cases. Geographic reach is global via the Viasat Velaris footprint; flight trials have been completed in the EU, US, Canada, Australia, UK, and Brazil. Regulatory milestones — CE marking, FCC ID registration, Viasat type approval (first UAV terminal certified for Regional Class 4), and ISEDC/ACMA applications in process — are central to the company's commercial narrative.

Core offering

Gotonomi designs, manufactures and sells miniaturized low-SWaP-C satellite communication terminals (Velaris 200, Velaris Module, Velaris Multilink Module) and a paired L-band antenna (200-A Omni) that enable Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) command, control and payload data connectivity for commercial UAVs. The terminals operate on Viasat's Velaris L-band network, with hybrid LTE/satellite failover and onboard edge computing for video compression and telemetry. As a Value-Added Reseller of Viasat Velaris airtime, the company also sells subscription-based satellite connectivity plans bundled with its hardware.

Product overview

Gotonomi offers a range of ultra-compact satellite communication terminals for UAV BVLOS operations, comprising the Velaris 200 (fully-integrated turnkey solution), Velaris Module (low-SWaP-C module for integrated installations), and Velaris Multilink Module (adds LTE connectivity and edge computing). All terminals connect via Viasat's L-band Velaris network providing up to 200kbps data rates globally. The 200-A Omni Antenna complements these as a lightweight standalone antenna option. The portfolio enables operators to choose between self-contained solutions (V200) or modular integration approaches (Module/Multi-Link paired with antenna).
