Arlula
Arlula provides the infrastructure and single access point that allows users to procure, manage and process satellite imagery at scale. Founded in 2018, Arlula aims to connect the value of Earth observation data from orbit to people and businesses on the ground. We have partnered with commercial and Government satellite operators, research institutions and technology companies to create the infrastructure that fuels the growth of the EO industry. GEOSTACK Traditionally, gaining access to imagery satellites and the data sets they produce has been costly and time consuming. Lengthy negotiation processes and a general lack of transparency in the industry have led to a low rate of commercial adoption of the technology. Our API's streamline the process of searching, ordering and managing satellite data. Our web based approach makes it easy to integrate satellite imagery and spatial data into applications, workflows and decision making processes. By aggregating a global network of satellite imagery suppliers through a single cloud based access point, Arlula eliminates the need for multiple technical integration points, legals, business contracts, pricing, payment models and automation.
