Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) leads the emerging field of in-orbit edge computing. The company boasts the Spaceborne Computer-2, the only commercial-grade system tested on the International Space Station (ISS). This system processes data directly in orbit.
This capability attracts long-term interest from the Space Development Agency (SDA). Analysts anticipate the in-orbit edge computing market will reach a trillion dollars by 2026.
Citi analysts predict HPE's first-mover advantage will translate into high gross margins over the next five years. This signals a potentially significant and exclusive new revenue stream for the company.
