Mobile communications will be cheap, convenient and available worldwide. In every possible spot a man can set a foot to. Right at your smartphone.

This company was founded because like you, we have a dream to stay connected to the ones we love, no matter where we are in the world. We want global mobile service at about $10 a month, with unlimited data, no roaming, or other crappy charges and inconveniences.

Maybe you think that will happen one day in the future. Well, we're happy to announce we have a solution today.

Yaliny in the press

“It could reshape how people use mobile phones”

- CNET

“Yaliny is offering inexpensive satellite-based phone calls and data coverage anywhere in the world”

- GIZMAG

"Yaliny will revolutionize the smart phone into an inexpensive global satellite phone"

How it works

Our Satellite

Info about our constellation

The satellite constellation will consist of 135 LEO satellites on circular orbit, at 370 miles [600 km] altitude. They will cover the entire planet’s surface.

One of the most important points about our satellites is they should be fairly light and small enough to be stacked in one large rocket such as Falcon Heavy. We’re designing them exactly that way - to do just one launch. This will cut initial funding required to create an infrastructure, so we’ll be able to provide cheaper services.

Some details

Exclusive Yaliny Point for our Indiegogo supporters

Yaliny Mobile Application

Our application will be available in such stores as AppStore or Google Play. Once installed, the application will provide your smartphone with full-scale control over Yaliny Point for always-with-you internet connection and VoIP-like services – the ability to place and receive calls, texts and so on. We’re designing it to be fast and reliable, with excellent encryption, convenient synchronization, and the ability to connect to standard internet links like 3G and others. This application will also have several additional important features that you can’t imagine a mobile app without.

Some interesting facts

Canadians using their cellphones abroad pay some of the most expensive wireless data roaming charges out there, according to a study from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The U.S. ranks among the highest in the world in the cost of phone data plans. According to research by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) the average phone plan with 500MB of data costs $85 in the U.S., compared to $24.10 in China and $8.80 in the U.K.
Yahaya Wahab from Malaysia received the highest cell phone bill of all time. It was $218 Trillion.

Why we need your support

The real key to ending all those bad experiences we face with mobile phone services is effective infrastructure. Realistically, there is only one way to make communications actually available worldwide - and that’s through the use of satellites in space.

Here at Yaliny, we use cutting edge technologies and have been working hard for more than a year, to design small, light, inexpensive and high performance satellites from cratch. Simultaneously, we’ve also been working on the other components that make up the telecommunication infrastructure.

We've successfully completed that research stage, and are going to the next level - actually building a satellite, Yaliny Point and other hardware.

However, making this a reality is a process which demands a lot of extensive scientific innovation, time and money.

We invite you to partner with us to create our future together.

Why we need $250 000

All funds we'll raise through Indiegogo will be spent on a hardware. In order to build a full scale satellite prototype on this stage, we need very expensive equipment for Super High Frequency electronics, different satellite parts and so on.

Please support us to make this happen.

Q: What will be the latency in service we provide?

A: Latency inside our system will not be more than 350-400 ms and typically it’s much lower. It is our top priority to keep issues like that under control.We are able to provide that latency because our satellites will be on a low orbit, so any signals will have a short path, and because we’re working on smart routing.

We think 400 ms is a pretty good value for latency of satellite service, and it will allow our customers to use the satellite connections for all applications including voice conversations, internet services and so on without inconvenience.

Q: What about Uplink?

A: Uplink channel has more energy than downlink, and is easier to design.

This occurs because each satellite has plenty of connections and its transmitter shares energy between many receivers on devices. And each device’s transmitter works with just one satellite receiver. So the energy of the combined transmitters of many devices is higher than the energy of a single satellite transmitter. Since the antennas of both channels are the same, the uplink has more energy.

Each device will have a 2W transmitter and unique antennas with narrow radiation patterns. This will help to save a particular device’s and a particular satellite’s energy and maintain good connection.

Q: What is the bandwidth?

A: We’ll provide each device with up to 2Mbps (uplink and downlink combined) of bandwidth. However, in rush hours the bandwidth could be lower, but still enough to maintain a good connection for voice conversations and simple internet activity.

Our priority in the initial stages is to provide our customers with cheap, convenient and worldwide mobile communications. Once we have accomplished that then in successive stages we’ll increase the bandwidth of our links.

Q: Why do we need 135 satellites?

A: There’re two key reasons:

a) We’d like to cover the whole planet.

b) We need to keep latency under control and provide sufficient bandwidth.

Those issues combined define many factors like: satellite type, altitude of orbit (Low Earth Orbit), quantity of satellites and so on. We have spent plenty of time doing research, and we think 135 is the right number to provide great global services at affordable price.

Q: Why do we think we can make mobile communications cheap, convenient and worldwide, while large tech corporations can’t?

A: Large corporations usually are not very quick, innovative or smart. They do have money, but money is not the only ingredient, and definitely not the most important one. Moreover there’re many management levels, special decision making processes and so on. Good ideas much rather get a “no” from management, because new ideas imply new risks. And who likes risks? And who is willing to take it? Entrepreneurs are, not managers.

Skype, Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon - those companies weren’t large corporations when they decided to change the world. But ultimately they did. That’s how it works.

Q: What about prices?

A: Yaliny Point, our device, will cost about $150.

Communications within our network, internet and all incoming calls will be free, with a $10 monthly subscription fee.

Outgoing calls to outside of our network will be cheaper than usual VoIP rates (like Skype).

Q: What size/weight will Yaliny Point have? How long will its battery last?

A: Yaliny Point will weigh not more than a regular smartphones, and will have about the same size. And our devices will be able to maintain at least 10 hours of talk time, or internet use, and will last up to 240 hours in standby mode.
