Expert Statements
Carlos Moreira, Chairman and CEO of SEALSQ and WISeSat.Space
“This letter of intent is a concrete step towards moving QSOC from vision into infrastructure. The initial 12 satellites, together with mission control, ground infrastructure and operational support, are intended to provide the foundation on which QSOC’s services can be developed.”
Carlos Moreira, Chairman and CEO of SEALSQ and WISeSat.Space
“Our goal is to extend trust from the semiconductor to the satellite, through the ground station and ultimately to the organizations and devices using the network. Sovereignty requires control over identity, cryptographic keys and the systems that authorize access to data. Through QSOC, we aim to bring these capabilities together across terrestrial and orbital infrastructure, supported by rigorous technical validation.”
John O’Hara, CFO of SEALSQ
“This letter of intent is aimed at extending SEALSQ’s semiconductor security, digital identity and cryptographic-key management technologies into space-enabled services. By securing access to the initial satellite and ground and operational infrastructure for QSOC, we are laying the foundation for a subscription-based security offering that could complement our semiconductor business and create a new source of recurring revenue. Our focus is on disciplined capital deployment, aligning further investment with technical validation and customer demand to build long-term value for SEALSQ shareholders.”
