About Me
While at COM DEV, Peter Mabson and his team conceived and demonstrated the concept for a microsat-based satellite constellation and signal detection technology to track the world's shipping from space. Subsequently a new company, exactEarth, was formed to implement a full commercial system to provide this capability on a global basis. Since 2010 exactEarth has made significant contributions to global maritime safety, surveillance, environmental protection and maritime commerce. Today, exactEarth is the recognised global leader in satellite AIS services and has over a thousand customers in 40 countries. In 2010, exactEarth received the Ontario Premier's Award for Innovation.
